Over the two decades of fast development of the Indian economic system, the urban economic system is generally considered having done very well. However, high urban economic growth need not by itself imply improved living standards for all urban residents. In particular, the recent and continuing phenomenon of increasing food prices reminds us that considerable divisions of the urban population may face serious food insecurity. There are many complicated and interrelated factors that cause of food insecurity. Some of the causes are described below, followed by activities this post can all take to help others obtain more constant and healthy resources of foods.

Lack Of Access To Farming Land
A land is needed to generate meals and income. But many individuals simply do not have the sources or opportunity to own area. Land possession can enhance social identification and encourage individuals by providing a contribution in decision-making.
Land Grabbing
Land getting develops when the area that has been typically captive-raised by family members is taken by large business traders, who may acquire the area to grow meals for trade or draw out natural sources. Often hidden as a way to promote economic development, area getting deprives local neighborhoods of the sources they need to thrive, resulting in problems and social uncertainty.
Natural Disasters And Environment Change
Natural disasters, such as drought, floods, typhoons, and cyclones can destroy entire harvests. The effects can be harmful to non-urban areas and family members that depend on their harvests for their daily meals.
Climate change impacts food security because changes in environment styles essentially impact farming. Farmers in both developed and creating nations are already suffering from many of the repercussions of global warming, confirming that rains come earlier, droughts last longer, water is scarcer because of increasing sea levels and storm surges and cyclones and other excessive weather events are more regular and intense.
Food Wastage
Preventable food wastage happens at all levels of the food sequence, from the time products leave the village gate up to when it gets to our dishes. The ABC reviews that in Sydney alone, houses toss out around $8 billion dollars worth of delicious meals every year, and that doesn’t even include commercial waste from supermarkets. Decreasing food waste will help improve food security.
