    The Food and Nutrition Security Program works to ensure marginalized groups have access to resources and diversified local food production. It focuses on increasing access to government food security programs, monitoring schemes, and opposing harmful policies. The strategies include organizing small farmers, empowering communities with training, aligning partners' programs with the government, and improving production and marketing. The program also plays a key role influencing food security strategies and policies across South Asia. In India, it advocates for the right to food and inclusion of farmers in decision making, as many lose land to government and industry projects without benefits. The challenges of ensuring nutrition security in India's large population are addressed by focusing on women and community-based organizations, as well as synergies

    Food & Nutrition Security

    ICCo's Food and Nutrition Security Program works with multiple stakeholders to ensure rights
    and ownership of marginalized people to resources, diversification of local productions,
    facilitation of marketing of products through the approaches of direct poverty alleviation, civil
    society development and policy influencing through lobby/advocacy. The focus has been to
    increase access of government programs and schemes and monitoring of the various food
    security schemes and opposing policies which might affect adversely food security of the people.
    The strategies include organizing small farmers, empowerment through awareness building on
    technology, nutrition and rights related to food security, alignment of partners' programs with the
    government and tapping into government resources, improvement of production, marketing of
    surplus/additional products, improving access to resources and capacity building.
    The program plays a pivotal role in influencing strategies and policies on Food and Nutrition
    Security development in the South Asia region. The program in India is significantly refurbished
    and steered away from high intensive grassroots implementation projects to advocacy oriented
    programmatic approach engaging multiple stakeholders. The right to food is centre stage in this
    approach and serve as a knowledge hub for the programs of neighbouring countries. In India the
    enactment of the National Food Security Act includes not only entitlement to a basic food basket
    but also access to sufficient land. Farmers are being forced to cultivate ever-smaller areas of land
    or even are evicted from their land completely since government and/or industries are taking
    over natural resources, including land. Poor villagers are being excluded from decision-making
    process and do not get any benefits from development projects, in violation of domestic laws.
    Therefore policy and advocacy is a strong focus of the program design as it aims to enable equity
    and accountability through deepening democratic engagements of marginalised social groups.
    Ensuring food and nutrition security is a challenge for India, given its huge population and high
    levels of poverty and malnutrition. The FNS program aims to ensure food and nutrition security
    for poor and marginalized communities with a specific focus on women given their essential role
    for intra household food distribution and food production. The program also aims to develop
    capacity of community based organizations to address food and nutrition insecurity. It also works
    on synergies with inclusive business initiatives which for example are aiming at food or nutrition
    security, Food and Nutrition Security partners also work on access to markets.
