Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to review briefly the growth of population and the expansion of food production in India in the past quarter century and to assess the prospects of achieving a balance between population and food in the near future. It will be evident that, in spite of vigorous official action on both fronts, namely population and food, a balance between the two is by no means in sight.
