| Article Name : | | | AGRICULTURE AND FOOD MANAGEMENT : AN OVERVIEW | | Author Name : | | | N.N. CHOUDHARY | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ISRJ-71 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | There is need to have stable and consistent policies where markets play a
deserving role and private investment in infrastructure is stepped up. An efficient supply
chain that firmly establishes the linkage between retail demand and the farmer will be
important. Retionalization of agricultural incentives and strengthening of food price
management will also help, toegether with a predictable trade policy for agriculture.
These initiatives need to be coupled with skill development and better research and
development in this sector along with improved delivery of credit, seeds, risk
management tools, and other inputs ensuring sustainable and climate-resilient
agricultural practices. Finally, while the sharp increase in prices of food articles,
especially proteins, fruits and vegetables, and the growing foodgrains stocks in public
sector continue to be subjects of debate, these may be the pointers towards the need for
both relative price shifts responding to shifts in demand and reconsidering traditional
instruments of food management. | | Keywords : | | - food management
