This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.

This text identifies common mistakes and challenges in food preservation in developing countries, offering solutions which can play a significant role in reducing food waste in these countries. The book offers critical analysis of current preservation techniques for fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, dairy, and grain, identifying key mistakes and challenges and proposing effective solutions. Feasibility tests for implementing these innovative approaches are also presented. A well-rounded study of the various causes of food waste in developing nations, this book plays a key role in bringing effective food preservation methods to the developing world. Food Preservation in Developing Countries: Challenges and solutions studies common food preservation techniques for fruits and vegetables, fish, meat, dairy, and grains, pinpointing the areas where waste occurs due to transportation, contamination, and low quality post processing. Innovative potential solutions are presented, including the feasibility of implementation of these advanced preservation techniques. The book takes a critical look at barriers to proper food preservation in these regions and offers practical solutions which can be implemented in a cost effective and timely manner. With almost one third of the world's food supply wasted each year and 13% of the world's inhabitants going hungry, this is an incredibly important and timely text.

Supply chain loss in the post-harvest management of agri produce is one of the major determinants of the food problem in most developing countries. However, food wastage is not good for two main reasons: firstly, there may be a material loss in terms of energy protein and other nutrients; and secondly, there may be an economic loss in terms of the value of food. The major concern for fresh Agro Supply Chain Management is the post-harvest wastage. India, the world's second-largest fresh agro producer and one of the centers of origin of fresh agro produce, is also one of the biggest food wasters in the world--wasting lots of fresh agro produce (fruits and vegetables) every year. The challenge of feeding India's billion plus people is not really about agriculture and food production but getting the good quality food to the people at the right time. According to various studies and literature available, the most susceptible food category to a lack of cold storage is fruits and vegetables where annual wastage is very high. Controlling the levels of waste is beyond the capability of individual farmers or consumers. The problem is wider and involves various issues in the supply chain of fresh agro produce. In the present study, the authors have carried out a detailed and extensive literature review available on the supply chain of fresh agro commodity and discussed the existing position, the supply chain losses and wastage problems encountered in the agricultural products with special reference to perishable agro produce, i.e., fruits and vegetables. The authors have also identified some of the major reasons for the losses and wastages in the logistics and supply chain of fresh agro produce.
