Abstract | M.S. Swaminathan, a plant geneticist renowned for leading the green revolution, locates the gaps in India’s policies and programmes addressing hunger and nutrition. Principal among these gaps, says the former director general of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and principal secretary of the ministry of agriculture and irrigation, has been our failure to see malnutrition as more than a health issue, and nutrition as more than calories. |
