Along with food security, India needs nutritional security in its diet. Comment. 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-majority-cannot-afford-a-balanced-diet/article32206439.ece
  • In the intro, mention the SOFI report by FAO.
  • In the body, mention the healthy diet and how it is different from the energy sufficient diet. Next mention the affordability of the healthy diet against the context of Indian poverty line, which is below the international poverty line. So, along with taking care of the food needs though the Food Security Act, India needs to focus on nutritional security as well.
  • Conclude by mentioning the need to have a focus on the nutritional quality of the food provided in under FSA.
