| Abstract: | In most of the developing countries of the world, a majority of population directly or indirectly depends on agriculture for its livelihood. There is manifold increase in agriculture production after green revolution in our country. India now ranks third in total cereal production, first in pulses production and first in milk production in the world (Anonymous, 2022). Despite this, the problem of food insecurity and malnutrition is still prevalent in the country. Globally, 148 million children are stunted, and 45 million children were found effected by wasting under the age of five years with a high prevalence in Asian and African countries. In India, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Meghalaya have the most stunted children and wasting has been generally observed most prevalent in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Bihar and Jharkhand. Despite sincere government efforts to mitigate the problem of hunger and malnutrition, most of the main problems like poverty, food wastages and loss, hidden hunger, conflicts between and within countries, poor distribution system, climate change and natural disasters etc. are coming in the path which needs to be urgently addressed. The government has taken several initiatives in the form of National Food Security Act, Poshan Abhiyaan, PM Poshan Sakti Nirman, National Food Security Mission besides certain apps like Share the Meal app, Aahar app and Olio app working at national and international level for ensuring food security in the country besides the concepts of Nutrition Smart Villages, Biofortification, balance diet and emphasis on sustainable agriculture are good steps in this direction. The extension agencies working at the grass root level can play a significant role in creating awareness about nutritious balance diet, malnutrition, biofortified crops, organic farming, sustainable agricultural practices and integrated nutrient and pest management besides dissemination of improved farm technology to the farmer fields. |
