Securite, autosuffisance, autonomie: la strategie alimentaire de l'Inde

Doryane Kermel-Torres

Économie rurale, 1989, vol. 190

Abstract: In order to achieve food security, self-sufficiency and self-reliance, the public intervention of India for the last twenty years is focused on incentives to means of production and on regulation of the cereals market. Imbalances were generated that specific programmes aim at mitigating. Owing to the "Green Revolution" and the incentive policy, the cereal output has increased twofold enabling India to marginalize imports, to generate export flows and sizeable stocks. Those results, which are generally used to define the indian self-sufficiency, do not prejudge the population's nutritional status, of whom an important part suffers from under-nutrition and malnutrition.
