| description | The concept of food systems has evolved rapidly in recent years, with a more holistic approach gaining traction among scholars and policymakers. This new perspective encompasses all elements and activities related to food production, processing, distribution, preparation, and consumption, as well as the socioeconomic and environmental outcomes of these activities. Despite growing awareness, the global food system is under threat due to unsustainable practices and the current trajectory of agrifood systems drivers, which risk derailing the achievement of Agenda 2030 targets. Increasingly, international organizations, countries, and civil society groups are utilizing foresight exercises to explore alternative scenarios and pathways for more resilient and sustainable food systems.
Odisha, a predominantly agrarian economy, exemplifies many of these global challenges. More than 75% of its population lives in rural areas, and a significant portion is reliant on agriculture. However, the contribution of agriculture to the state's economy has dwindled to 17%, with manufacturing (37%) and services (36%) sectors dominating. While 48% of Odisha's population is still dependent on agriculture and allied sectors, the sector's contribution to GVA has declined by 11% over the past two decades leading to inefficiencies and disguised employment in the sector, which is exacerbated by poor infrastructure and limited resources. Although Odisha's agriculture sector has seen some improvements in rice production since the implementation of Green Revolution in Eastern India, overall growth remains low. |
