520 _aThe transition of the food security system in India from security to “surpluses” marks the end of an important phase, signifying the crossing by the country of the Malthusian hurdle of widening gap between the food supplies and the needs of a growing population. However, the success in reaching food to the poor depends not merely on improvements in the food security system but even more critically on the thrust of the broader development policies affecting agriculture and the rural poor. This lecture, therefore, focuses on the past performance, present status, and the priorities for the future directions of change in the food security system in India. It also presents a rapid and stylized review along with a brief discussion of the reforms needed in the system. – Reproduced
