Deccan Herald published an article on the findings from the 2022 Global Food Policy Report. The Report presents a bleak picture of the production, consumption, and availability of food in India in the coming years. The report mainly focuses on the impact of climate change and presents data based on research that should guide policy at government and other levels. The report says that food production in the country may decline by 16 percent by 2030 and the number of people at risk of hunger may increase by 23 percent. India and other countries in South Asia will face the worst impact of climate change on agriculture and related areas. The consequences of climate change, such as the rise in sea levels, groundwater depletion, and extreme weather events are already being experienced and they will get more acute in the coming years.
