“…A country is food secure when its agricultural sector is capable to produce large quantity of raw materials and food-grains than its domestic needs (Bazga, 2015;Menezes, 2015). "Food is something that gives us energy to function and keeps us alive" (Kumar et al, 2015b).…”

“…It exists when there is timely accessibility of food to meets basic nourishment of body (Menezes, 2015). It is determined by food availability, accessibility, stability and utilisation (ADB, 2012;Bazga, 2015;Menezes, 2015;Kumar et al, 2015b). Food availability defines by agricultural production, distribution and exchange of food across region/state/nation (FAO, 2009;Mârza et al, 2015;Menezes, 2015).…”

“…It at least can feed the population in favourable and adverse economic situation (Gahukar, 2011;Yu and You, 2013;Kumar et al, 2015b). Thus, sustainable agricultural development policies play a significant role to provide reliable access, adequate and nutritional food to all peoples (Mârza et al, 2015;Bazga, 2015;Shukla et al, 2015). It is a prime source to reduce chronic poverty in developing economies (Kumar and Sharma, 2013;Mârza et al, 2015;Kumar et al, 2015b).…”

“…Thus, it has been become a great concern at global level (Leunufna and Evans, 2014). Sustainable food security is a situation in which agriculture is efficient to produce adequate food-grain and raw material to meets nutrition for all inhabitants (Bazga, 2015). It produces fodder for animals in case of natural calamities (i.e., crises, war and riots) (Bazga, 2015).…”

Most economies have achieved better technological advancement; despite that many of them are in food insecure trap (Mârza et al, 2015).…”

The present study assesses the effect of climatic and non-climatic factors on sustainable food security in India. It estimates food security index using composite Z-index technique with panel data of 13 states of India. It reveals that all components of food security have positive and significant association to each other. There exists high food inequality across Indian states. Poverty is the most detrimental factor to sustain food security; it is significantly associated with food insecurity. Therefore, Indian policy makers are desired to implement effective development scheme for poverty eradication. Estimates also imply that per capita food-grain availability negatively impacted due to changing climatic factors and diversity in socioeconomic variables. Hence, there is essential to increase food production through cropping intensity, appropriate irrigation facilities, application of modern technology and high yielding verities of seeds in cultivation; infrastructural development and more public spending in agricultural R&D to achieve sustainable food security in India.
