World hunger is one of the major challenges, across globe; up to 828 million people do not have enough food and 49 million people facing emergency level of hunger. Being the most populous country of the world, India has achieved steady economic growth and the production of the foodgrains has increased however 21.25 per cent of the population lives on less than US$1.90 a day. Over the past seven decades the growth in the area and production of the foodgrains was 0.19 % and 2.37 % per annum respectively. The per capita availability of the foodgrains has increased to 185.4 Kg per annum with growth rate of 0.15 per cent from 1951 to 2021. The availability of the foodgrains has increased due to the improvement in the various government schemes like Targeted Pubic Distribution System (TDPS) with the joint efforts of World food programs. Further the country has achieved a lot in terms of the foodgrains export as it increased to Rs. 3759.09 billion during 2021-22 from Rs. 60.13 billion during 1990-91. The country still suffers from hunger and malnutrition. The reason being the poor people still have limited access to these commodities in the country. Increasing the rural and urban employment along with the self employment can increase the access to the food. Thus government needs to focus more on the food accessibility and make available the nutrition rich food to the population.

“…Food security is the most significant pillar of the economic resilience framework. Food availability, access, stabilization, and distribution are the four pillars of food security [3].

This study investigates the factors that affect farmers’ access to Food Security and Agricultural Credit (FSAC) services for the farmers of Pakistan who have no access to banking but have a feasible farm business. Using multiple regressions and logistic analysis, the authors revealed the determinants of farmers’ financial literacy and analyzed the variables which affected the farmers’ accessibility to FSAC. Results indicated that the average financial literacy of respondents was at a moderate level. It was affected by the age of respondents, length of their education, distance to nearby cities, ownership of bank accounts, annual income, and financial education experience. The FSAC accessibility was also impacted by the area of cultivated land, interest rate, collateral, farms’ income, financial literacy index, credit accessibility experiences, the legal status of farmer groups, and the amount of a loan. Some of the issues that prevent farmers from having widespread access to the FSAC include the lack of loan need, lack of FSAC awareness, lack of collateral, loan usury perspective, loan rejection experience, fear of borrowing from the bank, and inactive farmer groups. The study contributes to the existing literature on the determinants of farmers’ access and choice of credit sources by using a primary data set.
