Food Security, Resource Scarcity and Climate Change

Knowledge Partnership Programme

The hunger and malnutrition challenge

• Progress on addressing hunger unacceptably slow

• Around 800 million remain undernourished; half of the world suffers from malnutrition

Cost of inaction • Malnutrition is responsible for 45% of deaths among children under

five • Adds to global burden of disease, robs children of their long term

productive and cognitive capacity, and puts a brake on national economic development as a result

• Current childhood malnutrition is expected to cut future earnings by 20% and cost the global economy $125bn when today’s children grow up

Tackling hunger and under-nutrition good economic sense and a moral imperative

The global food challenge

• New thinking and approaches

• Upscaling knowledge exchange

Emerging economies like India offer relevant experience that developing countries can tap

India’s value as a learning partnerThe good The bad Large emerging economy, some largest domestic development programmes

Faces challenges of food and resource scarcity similar to Low Income Countries

One of the biggest agricultural producers of key commodities (e.g. wheat, rice, milk) ‘self-sufficient’ in grains at national level and one of the biggest stock-holders of grains in the world

One of the largest burdens of hungry and malnourished people

43% of children under five are malnourished (low weight for age) and 48% are stunted (low height for age); 36% women are chronically undernourished and 55% are anaemic

An agricultural innovator Yields per hectare 30 per cent lower, water a limiting factor

Capacity to innovate, spread technologies, good human capacity

Implementation still a challenge

Enacted the Right to Food Implementation yet to take off

Focus impact countries

• Bangladesh (greening the supply chains of small and medium enterprises, food security as state protection),

• Myanmar (food security as state protection), Malawi (VSBK tech transfer to arrest deforestation),

• Kenya (access to good quality seeds for food security, food security as social protection), Ethiopia (access to good quality seeds for food security)

Approach for food security as social protection

Identify globally relevant

debates in India’s journey

on Right to Food

Identify stakholders

committed to work on social protection for food security

Respond to requests for

support from participating developing countries

Organise global dialogues

around the debates

Approach for technology transfer and policy change

Engage all stakeholders

Pilot technology

Build and institutionalise

capacity

Influence policy change

Lessons learnt

Map demand, develop

credibility

Freedom to adapt

Nurture partnerships, clarify roles

Drive results and impacts

Strive for sustainability

Use Govt and non-

govt platforms
