Who Will Feed India? Political Economy of Food and Agriculture Policies and its Implications
Ashok Gulati
April 22, 2019
In this issue of India in Transition, Ashok Gulati, Infosys Chair Professor for Agriculture, Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER), and CASI’s 2019 Distinguished International Fellow, examines, ahead of India's May 2019 elections, whether or not India will be able to feed itself well into the future or become a large importer of food.
During Dr. Gulati's CASI visit, he gave the March 22, 2019 policy seminar "Who Will Feed India" at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), co-sponsored by CASI and moderated by Marshall M. Bouton (CASI Acting Director & Visiting Scholar) with discussants Devesh Kapur (former CASI Director & Starr Foundation Professor of South Asian Studies and Director of Asia Programs, SAIS) and other Indian agricultural experts.
