What is Food Security?
Based on the 1996 World Food Summit, food security is
defined when all people, at all times, have physical and
economic access to sufficient safe and nutritious food that
meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active
and healthy life.

world. At first, it focused on making sure that there
was enough food and that the prices of basic foods

India has achieved progress on the production of foodgrains in the form of:
(a) production of foodgrains has increased from 50.8 million tonnes in 1950-51 to
275.7 million tonnes in 2016-17
(b) the share of cereals in total production of foodgrains has increased from 84.0
per cent in 1950-51 to 91.7 per cent in 2016-17
(c) the share of rice and wheat in total cereals has increased from 53 per cent in
1950-51 to 82.4 per cent in 2016-17 and the share of coarse cereals has declined
from 30.0 per cent to 17.6 per cent, showing a change in consumption pattern of
poorer sections.
State-wise Area,
Production and Yield of
Foodgrains in India
(NFSM) under
Eleventh Plan The main objective of the National Food
Security Mission is to increase the production
of rice, wheat, pulses, coarse serials, and Nutri
serials through area expansion and
productivity enhancement in a sustainable
manner. A national food security mission will
be implemented in the identified districts of
the country.
The targets to achieve are 13 million tonnes of additional
foodgrains production comprising of Rice – 5 million
tonnes, Wheat- 3 million tonnes, Pulses- 3 million tonnes
and Coarse Cereals- 2 million tonnes.
Divided into direct strategies (short term) and
indirect strategies (long term).
Direct strategies demanded focus on the following:
• Ensuring proper nutrition of the target groups
