Conclusion Readers should note that the maps of India in this publication do not purport to represent the official borders of India but are used for indicative purposes only.ReviewsThe intriguing and immensely important question that motivates this book is: How can a fast growing country like India have such a large part of its population that is still malnourished? The scope of the book goes way beyond food and nutrition; it goes to the heart of the development process underway in India and introduces us to the key debates on some crucial policy issues in a lucid and open-minded way. It is a must-read for any serious student of Indian development. - Ashok Kotwal, Professor of Economics, The University of British Columbia, Canada This important book shows how and why rapid economic growth in India has not been translated into food security for large numbers of the country's most vulnerable households. The authors convincingly show how food insecurity is not a problem of food production, or even one of food distribution; it is a problem of livelihood insecurity which, in turn, is bound up in the wider social and political structures and fissures that characterise the contemporary Indian political economy. It is thus a sobering book: addressing under-nutrition is proving to be a lot harder than promoting economic growth. - Jonathan Rigg, National University of Singapore Author InformationBill Pritchard is Associate Professor of Human Geography in the School of Geosciences, University of Sydney.
