Abstract:
A peep into the ways global systems have impacted food security and the scientific processes to enhance food
productivity is being outlined .Challenges such as food safety, global environmental changes and malnutrition need a
multidisciplinary approach to tackle the issues associated with them. Multidisciplinary research in diverse areas related to crop
production, public health, biological, physical and mathematical sciences, predictive modeling, statistical approaches etc. is the
need of the hour. The coming together of all stake holders involved in science, technology and social sciences is required to
implement progressive approaches to maximize production for feeding the ever increasing population and involves studies
related to storage, manufacture, retail, food supply and value chain, reducing waste by preventing post harvest losses, recycling,
making food safe by eliminating food related illness due to biological and chemical hazards, adopt best measures of preservation
of quality, micronutrient addition to food for enhancing nutrition etc. All of the above needs to be addressed for sustaining global
food security.
