description Present policies aimed at commercializing food production in India are increasing the amount of food available to the cities and the amount of foreign exchange earned by exporting food. However, these policies are leading to a reduction in availability of food to India's rural population. From a stage of chronic dependency on food imports, India has now reached a stage of self-sufficiency in food grain. Yet malnutrition is increasing among rural populations. Food resources such as forest foods, food crops, milk, fish, as well as fuel to Cook food with, are being systematically diverted from the rural areas where the bulk of the population lives to the larger urban centers.
