Malnutrition: food storage

There is a lacuna in the implementation of our food security schemes because of leakages, failure of delivery systems (the government admitted on Wednesday that 20 per cent of its wheat is stored in the open), confused policies, corruption, inadequate monitoring and the lack of scientific interventions. Before rushing to announce a populist measure like food security, it makes sense to first learn from past mistakes. It is not legislation alone which is required, but an accompanying strategy which is both cost-effective and efficient.
