Food systems, food security and environmental changeIIED
This is a presentation given by Dr John Ingram of Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) to a Critical Theme organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 12 February 2015.
Dr Ingram leads the Environmental Change Institute's Food Systems Research and Training Programme, which aims to increase understanding of the interactions between food security and environmental change. The programme's research products have been adopted by national and international organisations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the UK and Dutch governments.
In his presentation, Ingram looked at food system activities and 'planetary boundaries' – the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the earth's biophysical systems. If these planetary boundaries are crossed, then important subsystems, such as a monsoon system, could shift into a new state. Such shifts could have damaging consequences, including undermining the environmental conditions and the natural resource base on which our food security depends.
IIED hosts Critical Themes meetings to explore new ideas, introduce new research and broaden the knowledge of its staff.

Food security means availability, accessibility and affordability of food to all people at all times. The poor households are more vulnerable to food insecurity whenever there is a problem of production or distribution of food crops. Food security depends on the Public Distribution System (PDS) and government vigilance and action at times, when this security is threatened.

Conclusion
Millet is a type of cereal grain that is widely grown in India and other parts of the world. Millets are an important source of nutrition for millions of people in India, particularly in rural areas. Millets are highly nutritious and have several health benefits. They are a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Millet production in India has been declining over the years due to various factors, such as the adoption of modern farming practices and the promotion of other crops such as rice and wheat. However, there is growing recognition of the nutritional benefits of millets, and efforts are being made to revive millet production in India.
Millet plays a vital role in meeting the nutritional demands of India's population. Millets are particularly important for people who have limited access to a diverse range of foods, such as those living in rural areas. Millets are also beneficial for people with certain health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, as they have a low glycemic index and are high in dietary fiber.
In addition to their nutritional benefits, millets are also climate-resilient and require less water and fertilizer than other crops such as rice and wheat. This makes millets an important crop for sustainable agriculture and food security in India.
Overall, increasing millet production in India has the potential to improve the nutritional status of the population and contribute to sustainable agriculture and food security.
The nutrition demand of India is complex and multifaceted. India is home to a large and diverse population, with varying levels of income, education, and access to healthcare. Malnutrition remains a significant problem in India, with high rates of undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overnutrition.
Undernutrition-According to the National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4) conducted in 2015-16, 38.4% of children under 5 years of age in India are stunted, 21% are wasted, and 35.7% are underweight. Undernutrition is also prevalent among women, with 22.9% of women aged 15-49 years having a body mass index (BMI) below 18.5 kg/m2.
micronutrient deficiencies-According to NFHS-4, 58.4% of children aged 6-59 months in India are anemic, and 29.3% of women aged 15-49 years have anemia. Vitamin A deficiency is also prevalent, with 22.9% of children aged 6-59 months having subclinical vitamin A deficiency. Iodine deficiency disorders are still a public health problem in India,
overnutrition. According to NFHS-4, 22.9% of women aged 15-49 years in India are overweight or obese, as are 19.7% of men. Overnutrition is

Theories of Population: 1. The Malthusian Theory of Population 2. The Optimum...Vaibhav verma
The following points highlight the top three theories of population. The theories are:
1. The Malthusian Theory of Population
2. The Optimum Theory of Population
3. The Theory of Demographic Transition.
What Is Demography? Introduction to DemographyVaibhav verma
What Is Demography?
Demography is the scientific study of human populations.
The term itself was coined in 1855 by Achille Guillard, who used it in the title of his book Éléments de Statistique Humaine ou Démographie Comparée.
The word he invented is a combination of two Greek words: demos, which means people, and graphein, which means to write about a particular subject (in this instance, population).
Modern demography is the study of the determinants and consequences of population change and is concerned with virtually everything that influences or can be influenced by these following factors.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

2. What is Food Security?
• Food security, as defined by the United Nations’ Committee on World Food Security,
means that all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to
sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their food preferences and dietary
needs for an active and healthy life.
• Food security is the combination of the following three elements:
• Food availability i.e. food must be available in sufficient quantities and on a consistent basis. It
considers stock and production in a given area and the capacity to bring in food from elsewhere,
through trade or aid.
• Food access i.e. people must be able to regularly acquire adequate quantities of food, through
purchase, home production, barter, gifts, borrowing or food aid.
• Food utilization: Consumed food must have a positive nutritional impact on people. It entails
cooking, storage and hygiene practices, individuals health, water and sanitations, feeding and
sharing practices within the household.
• Food security is closely related to household resources, disposable income and
socioeconomic status. It is also strongly interlinked with other issues, such as food
prices, global environment change, water, energy and agriculture growth.
3. Why Food Security is Important for a Nation?
• For boosting the agricultural sector.
• For having a control on food prices.
• For economic growth and job creation leading to poverty reduction
• For trade opportunities
• For increased global security and stability
• For improved health and healthcare
4. History
• Food security concerns can be traced back to the experience of the Bengal Famine in 1943 during British
colonial rule, during which about 2 million to 3 million people perished due to starvation.
• Since attaining independence, an initial rush to industrialize while ignoring agriculture, two successive
droughts in the mid-1960s, and dependence on food aid from the United States exposed India’s vulnerability
to several shocks on the food security front.
• The country went through a Green Revolution in the late 1960s and early 1970s, enabling it to overcome
productivity stagnation and to significantly improve food grain production.
• Despite its success, the Green Revolution is often criticized for being focused on only two cereals, wheat
and rice; being confined to a few resource abundant regions in the northwestern and southern parts of
the country that benefited mostly rich farmers; and putting too much stress on the ecology of these
regions, especially soil and water.
• The Green Revolution was followed by the White Revolution, which was initiated by Operation Flood during
the 1970s and 1980s. This national initiative has revolutionized liquid milk production and marketing in India,
making it the largest producer of milk.
• Of late, especially during the post-2000 period, hybrid maize for poultry and industrial use and Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) cotton have shown great strides in production, leading to sizeable exports of cotton, which
made India the second largest exporter of cotton in 2007–2008.
5. Food Security in India
• India, currently has the largest number of undernourished people in the world i.e. around
195 million.
• Nearly 47 million or 4 out of 10 children in India do not meet their full human potential
because of chronic undernutrition or stunting.
• Agricultural productivity in India is extremely low.
• According to World Bank figures, cereal yield in India is estimated to be 2,992 kg per hectare as against
7,318.4 kg per hectare in North America.
• The composition of the food basket is increasingly shifting away from cereals to high value
agricultural commodities like fish, eggs, milk and meat. As incomes continue to rise, this trend
will continue and the indirect demand for food from feed will grow rapidly in India.
• According to FAO estimates in ‘The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World, 2018”
report, about 14.8% of the population is undernourished in India.
• Also, 51.4% of women in reproductive age between 15 to 49 years are anaemic.
• Further according to the report 38.4% of children aged under five in India are stunted (too short for their
age), while 21% suffer from wasting, meaning their weight is too low for their height.
• India ranked 71th in 113 countries assessed by The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) in the
year 2020, based on four parameters—affordability, availability and quality and safety.
• As per the Global Hunger Index, 2020, India was ranked 94 th out of 107 qualifying countries.
6. Challenges to Food Security
• Climate Change
• Lack of access to remote areas
• Increase in rural-to-urban migration
• Overpopulation, poverty, lack of education and gender inequality.
• Inadequate distribution of food
• Unmonitored nutrition programmes
• Corruption
• Lack of coherent food and nutrition policies
7. Recent Government Initiatives
•National Food Security Mission
•Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY)
•Integrated Schemes on Oilseeds, Pulses, Palm oil and Maize
(ISOPOM)
•Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
•E-marketplace
•Massive irrigation and soil and water harvesting
programme
• Mid-day meals, Anganwadi systems and Subsidised grain
•The National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013
8. International Organizations involved in ensuring Food Security
•Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO)
•World Food Programme (WFP)
•International Fund for Agricultural Development
(IFAD)
•World Bank
•United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
9. WTO rules on domestic support and food security
•Present World Trade Organization WTO rules are not in to
support food security and rural livelihoods in India and
around the world.
•With the initial results of National Family Health Survey
(NFHS-5) between 2015 and 2019, it has become apparent
that nutrition level in India is deteriorating. In these
circumstances it has become a necessity for India to further
strengthen its food delivery mechanism for the poor and
vulnerable sections of the society.
10. •But WTO rules and their discussion are creating
hurdles in furthering food security programs in
India and other developing nations. Farm subsidy
notification
•There is widespread consensus that the World
Trade Organisation (WTO) rules should provide a
necessary support for food security and rural
livelihoods.
11. What are the issues in WTO’s rules?
• WTO rules on domestic support to agriculture, at present looks tilted in favour of
developed countries. In 2018, during global trade war escalation US claimed India’s
market price support (MPS) was above the permitted 10 per cent limit as per ‘de
minimis provision’. US Economist Franck Galtier also pointed out 3 biases in the WTO
rules;
• Firstly, using external reference price” (ERP) instead of present data. WTOs
External Reference Price or ERP, for calculation of market price support (MPS)
limit is set at 1986-88 level, even after global price hikes of 2007-08 and 2010-11.
• Secondly, using procurement (administered) price, instead of domestic market
price for calculation of support received by farmers.
• Third, using total production instead of actual procurement. There is no clarity
on whether to country’s food grain production or the amount that has been
procured by government. While India uses just the amount of grains procured by
the government, US using total production of rice and wheat to raise its
objections.
12. •Fifth, Majority of the agri. Subsidies by developed
countries have been listed in the green box, as non-
distorting. For Ex, 88% of farm subsidies by US has
been listed in green box, resulting into increase in its
farm subsidies from around $61 billion in 1995 to $139
billion in 2015.
•“US has been subsidising its corporate agriculture to
capture global markets while it targets the subsidies
India gives to an overwhelmingly large share of small
and marginal farmers.”
