The attainment of a hunger-free world by 2030 requires a strengthening of the agrifood system in the Global South and particularly in India. This requires that the agrifood systems in the Global South and India should be enabled to meet the twin challenges posed by shocks induced by economic policy and climate change. The focus of our analysis is the Indian state of Punjab, which occupies a crucial place in promoting food security in India and, therefore, globally. We argue for an alternative agrarian trajectory in Punjab which is ecologically sustainable and economically viable and which promotes justice, fairness, and equality.
