N2  - To transform the food systems in India
following the COVID-19 pandemic, the
government will urgently need to repurpose
existing agricultural policies.
India?s policy regimes like the Minimum
Support Price (MSP) and the Public
Distribution Systems (PDS), coupled with
subsidies on irrigation, power, and farm inputs,
are skewed in favour of staple crops like rice
and wheat. Even though some climate-resilient
and nutritious cereals like sorghum and millets
get some support pricing, this seems ineffective
as the policy is biased in favour of the ?big two?
staples.
