About Meghalaya Food Safety
Food security has been a major developmental objective in India since the beginning of planning. Initially, the food security system and price policy consisted of three instruments: procurement prices, or minimum support prices, buffer stocks and the public distribution system. However, in order to achieve food security, it is also important that the poor have sufficient means to purchase food. Poor people cannot afford to purchase the food they need at market prices, and therefore, they need to subsidise food through social protection programmes like PDS and employment programmes. Even if there is availability as well as access to food, there is no guarantee of adequate absorption or nutrition, especially since nutrition depends on many other factors such as the condition of pregnant women, breastfeeding, health factors, hygiene, drinking water and sanitation.
The National Food Security Act 2013 converts into legal entitlements the existing food security programmes of the Government of India.
