ASSOCIATION OF STATE-WISE FOOD SECURITY INDEX WITH CLIMATIC FACTORS IN INDIA: EVIDENCE FROM STATE...

This study creates a state-by-state food security index (FSI) using components related to food availability, food stability, and food accessibility, and then uses linear, non-linear, and log-linear regression models to examine the impact of climate change on the FSI, which is used as a proxy for food security. It compiled a state-by-state panel (from 1985 to 2009) of 13 Indian states. According to the descriptive findings, Punjab and Haryana are the most food secure states out of the 13 large agrarian states. Poverty is the most harmful element in obtaining food security, and in most states, poverty is strongly linked to food insecurity. Climate factors during the Kharif and Rabi seasons have a statistically significant impact on FSI, according to empirical findings. It claims that climate change will exacerbate India's food inequities. To maintain food security in India, strategies to prevent high population growth, fast urbanisation, and overexploitation of natural resources are required. Increased irrigation facilities, infrastructure (transport) development, and the application of modern technology in agriculture are also necessary. India can sustain food security through raising food grain yields and cropping intensities, creating more job opportunities for the populace to enhance their purchasing power, and providing loans to farmers.
