MKMudit KapoorSRSankar RajanGDGaurav Dhamija

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the changes in food consumption patterns and their micronutrient content in India over two survey periods.
  • Utilized household consumption expenditure surveys (HCES) from 2011–12 and 2023–24.
  • Analyzed food consumption patterns related to micronutrient intake.
  • Emphasized the role of food policy and social protection in addressing gaps.
  • Identified persistent gaps in micronutrient intake despite dietary transitions.
  • Highlighted the need for integrated strategies to enhance access to nutritious foods.
  • Showed a correlation between food policy and equitable nutrient access.

Abstract

India's dietary transition shows progress but persistent gaps. HCES-based estimates provide valuable insights, underscoring need for integrated strategies aligning food policy, social protection, and nutrition-sensitive interventions to improve equitable access to nutrient-dense foods and reduce micronutrient inadequacy.
