Steady, healthy nutrition changes lives
India ranks 94th out of 107 countries on the Global Hunger Index. Mid-pandemic surveys have revealed even more alarming findings. As many as 16 states show an increase in underweight and severely wasted children under the age of five. COVID is becoming a nutrition crisis due to overburdened healthcare systems, disrupted food patterns and income loss.
The World Economic Forum reports that daily wagers, construction workers, street vendors and domestic helpers have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Agriculture is the primary occupation in the villages, but due to frequent lockdowns, there has been a disruption of supply chains and access to market for the sale of agricultural produce, which hits rural household incomes hard.
