Food refers to anything eaten by man which gives energy and which is able to
meet physiological needs for growth of human body
OR Food is one of the basic requirements of human being it is the most
important material that our body needs for its proper functioning and wellbeing
at all stages of our life human diet is not restricted to any special category of
food

• It is the production of food from aquatic
habitants - marine and fresh water
• Although aquaculture provides only small
amount of the world's food at present, it is an
important source of protein for many contrives,
especially in Asia and Europe

6. I M P O R TA N C E O F F O O D
Food is a source of energy for man
For physical and mental
development
For protection and regulation of
body needs

World food problems involve
complex interactions among
Food production, Population
growth, Poverty,
Environmental effects,
Economic And Political system
Chronic hunger and
catastrophic famine are due to
lack of access to food but not
a lack of food
During last 50 years the world
grain production has increased
3 times but due to increasing
population growth rate in
LESS DEVELOPED
COUNTRIES has outstripped
food production

Thus every year our food problems is
killing as many people as were killed by
the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima
during world war
People receiving less than 90% of the
minimum dietary calories are called
undernourished and if less than 80%
they are said undernourished
Every year 40 million people die due to
undernourishment or malnutrition

10. I N I N D I A
Despite impressive gains in
total and per capita food
production since 1970, roughly
40% suffer from malnutrition
because they are poor to buy
or to grow enough food to
meet their basic needs
Now its time to give more
emphasis to increase food
production, equal distribution
of food and at the same time
to control the population
growth

• An average the minimum calorie intake on a
global scale is 2500 calories per day
• People receiving less than
90% of these minimum dietary calories are called
undernourished
80% of these minimum dietary calories are called
seriously undernourished
• Deficiency and lack of nutrition often leads to
malnutrition resulting in several diseases

Modern agriculture refers to carrying on agriculture with the
intensive use of irrigation facilities, chemical fertilizers, high
yielding varieties of quality seeds, pesticides and insecticides
Modern form machinery with a view to obtain higher
agricultural productivity and production
It’s also called as green revolution

• Contributed to high yields of agricultural crops
• Created awareness, interest among farmers for
implementation of better techniques
• Improved income for the farmers
• Raised the standard of living of farmers
• Increased employment opportunities
• Increased the economy of a country
• Fertilizer related problems
• Excessive usage of chemical fertilizers leads to a
micro nutrient imbalance in the soil resulting in low
production
• Nitrogen and phosphorus used in agricultural fields
is washed off and released to the neighbouring
water bodies which causes eutrophication
• Pesticide related problem

In a nation which ranks 103rd of 119 in Global
Hunger Index 2018, it is imperative that
attempts are made to eradicate hunger, and
where children are involved, the need is even
higher
Two Articles of the Indian Constitution are
fundamental to the healthy growth of a society:
Article 21 which guarantees every Indian
citizen the “right to life” and Article 47 which
explicitly states that “The State shall regard the
raising of the level of nutrition and the standard
of living of its people and the improvement of
public health as among its primary
duties…” Till the end of the 4th Five Year Plan
, India’s main emphasis was on the aggregate
growth of the economy and reliance was
placed on the percolation effects of its growth

• An alternative strategy of development,
comprising an anterior attack on poverty,
unemployment and malnutrition in the
face of continuing poverty and
undernourishment; malnutrition became
a national priority from the 5th Five Year
Plan onwards
