Description of the research topic:

Finding better supply chain solutions is an essential part of achieving a secure and sustainable diet for a rapidly increasing population. The impact of new technologies and management systems can therefore improve efficiencies and find new ways to reduce waste. Indian food demand in the future will be primarily driven by income and population growth. India has more than 250 million middle class consumers and this number is likely to grow with economic prosperity. Income growth, urban-rural population composition, family size, and many other factors are likely to influence diet preference significantly in the coming decade. But dietary changes in India may not be similar to those observed in other countries because of its predominantly vegetarian dietary preferences. Should India decide to consume more meat, the effects on the global food supply and global food security could become greater in the future. The potential effects of climate change and other environmental factors such as sustainability will have a complex effect on the world food supply.
