Has India Achieved Food Security Triumph in the Last Decade?

The aspect of food security in all its form has rightly received importance globally. According to FAO’s Food Security and Nutrition in the World report about 193 million people in 53 countries experienced crisis food insecurity in 2021. Food security in individual as well as societal level is crucial for human development. A nation with sustained food secured citizen can help not only to establish the societal stability but also contribute to the future growth of the nation. With respect to the above background, this paper aims to measure annual growth rate and Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of Per Capita Availability of Food Grains, Rice, Wheat, Other cereals, Cereals, Gram and Pulses for the period 2010-2022 which may represent the food security in India in the last decade. The growth rates and CAGR statistics show that food grain supply is dynamic, affected by climate, agriculture, market demand, and policy. The greater CAGR for other cereals reflects stronger cultivation and availability. Rice and gram have lower CAGRs, indicating more constant but less aggressive growth. Resilience and adaptation in agricultural and food supply systems are needed to maintain availability and manage production and demand changes over years.
