Abstract: I feel privileged to deliver the Presidential address in the 33rd annual conference of Indian Society of Agricultural Marketing. I thank the office bearers and members of the Society for giving me the honor. Food security has been a very sensitive issue in India as it has the largest concentration of poor in the world. Around half of India's population is covered by one or the other scheme in which subsidized staple food is made available to the people but still it lags much behind on nutrition security frontier. I have chosen the theme for my presidential address “Food and Nutrition Security-Empowering the Farmers and Consumer to Fight Hunger and Poverty”.
