Abstract
Food security in India is adversely affected by several abiotic, biotic, and sociopolitical situations. The current position may worsen in the future if timely and appropriate actions are not planned and executed. The pressure of human population and land for cultivation, climate change, government policies of public distribution and marketing of food grains, and lack of a participatory approach—all are contributing to slow down the availability of foods. Also, crop productivity seems to be very much unsustainable. The situation has to be remedied by all possible means and citizens must be assured of food security. This review summarizes several strategies for crop production and food distribution and emphasizes the need for a second Green Revolution.
