IT’S NOT THE FOOD SECURITY, IT'S HOW WE ARE SECURING THE FOOD MATTER!

Dear all,

IT’S NOT THE FOOD SECURITY, IT'S HOW WE ARE SECURING THE FOOD MATTER!

on one side Indian government is talking on need of annually 60-61 million tons of grains to feed people ( if the proposed food security bill would come), where as on the other hand government don’t have proper storage to store food grains and vegetable. Recently in Punjab farmers have thrown their vegetables on road; as they have high production but they don’t have buyer and storage for the produce.

Its not that we don’t have sufficient food grains, its we don’t have the proper system of:

·        Storage-for food grains

·        Purchase from farmers

·        Promotion for agriculture

·        Credit for farmers ( not the business farmers-typical farmers who do farming, most of the credit available in farming is availed by either rich farmers or rich farming based business man-LIKE reliance fresh and others).

·        Promotion of community based farming systems (rather than individualistic farming system).

·        Hardly anyone of us wants to be a farmer!

Is we are able to establish the above said systems, I hope there is no need of food security bill for India, India can “secure its food and would come out of the trap of hunger ness’
