Description
Water and Land Management Training Research Institute (WALAMTARI) and International Water Management Institute (IWMI), South Asia located at Hyderabad are jointly anchoring the Australian Centre for International Agriculture Research (ACIAR) funded “Climate Water Forum- Andhra Pradesh”. The Forum will aim to consolidate, synthesize the climate change research initiatives of various projects implemented with the assistance of state and central ministries, bilateral agencies and prepare policy advocacy guidelines.

This paper published in the journal Advances in Asian Social Science analyses the food security condition of India during the last few decades and the impact of climate change on food security of India.
