Nutritional Security of Marginalised Groups in the Context of COVID-19: A Discourse
Abstract
Malnutrition in all its forms has become the leading cause of poor health and death worldwide. The 2020 Global Nutrition Report stresses that the need to address malnutrition in all its forms by tackling injustices in food and health systems is now more urgent than ever. Over 820 million people went to bed hungry even before the COVID-19 pandemic, of which 110 million people were living in acute food insecurity. According to the World Food Programme, 135 million suffer from acute hunger largely due to man-made conflicts, climate change, and economic downturns. The COVID-19 pandemic could now double that number, putting an additional 130 million (total 265 million) people at risk of suffering acute hunger by the end of 2020. India is ranked 102 out of 117 countries the lowest in South Asia. Surprisingly Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan are performing better in terms of GHI. In this chapter, the authors analyse the nutritional security of marginalised groups in Andhra Pradesh and Telangna State.
