Critique of the National Food Security Bill 2011
This note presents the response of the Right to Food Campaign to the National Food Security Bill (NFSB) that was tabled in the Lok Sabha on 22 December 2011. While the proposed National Food Security Act presents an opportunity to rectify the entire food production and distribution system in the country in such a manner so as to ensure that every individual has access to adequate and quality nutritious food, this draft Bill reflects a very narrow vision.
