International Trade and Food Security : The Future of Indian Agriculture
This book presents recent work on demand and supply projections for food grains and high-value agri-food commodities in India. It intends to decipher the curiosity by projecting implications of policies and trade on farm and non-farm incomes, poverty and income distribution in rural and urban areas. It also offers the future potential for international trade of agricultural commodities and its implications on food security and poverty. This title is the product of an international collaboration among researchers from India and Europe. The work presented in this volume has been (co-)funded by the project ‘Trade, Agricultural Policies and Structural Changes in India’s Agri-food System: Implications for National and Global Markets (TAPSIM)’ under the Seventh Framework Programme (Grant agreement no: 212617). The financial support from the Strategic Research Programme ‘Food Security, Scarcity and Transition’, which is funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in The Netherlands, is also acknowledged for enabling the work on this volume. In addition to the chapters based on the research conducted under this project, we have solicited additional chapters to enrich the range of perspectives. The book was not possible without the cooperation of all the authors. Their deep understanding and empirical analysis make the book a rich source of information on prospects for food supply, demand and trade under different scenarios. We appreciate their immense cooperation in undertaking the studies, preparing reports and finalizing chapters. The contents of all the chapters were presented in two policy workshops in India to validate the findings of the research studies.
