Description and Table of Contents
Description
Tyagi starts from the premise that, although India has achieved virtual self-sufficiency in the production of food grains, existing policies have failed to assure renumerative prices to farmers or protect the interests of the vulnerable sections of society. Faced with this failure, he asks whether free trade in food grains could provide a way out of this impasse. After surveying food policies in other Asian countries, he proposes various alternatives which could reduce government intervention and subsidy without adversely affecting the major goals of India's food policy.
