Entrepreneurial Solutions for Addressing
Food Security Challenges in India
Shared with the World by Pamela Clarke
Food security has been a major concern
in India. In 2022, the Global Food Security
Index ranked India at 68th out of the 113
major countries in terms of food security.
In 2023, the Global Hunger Index ranked
India at 111th out of 125 countries,
exacerbated by factors such as population
growth, climate change, and resource
constraints. In response, startups are
emerging as key players in developing
innovative and sustainable solutions to
address food security challenges. This
dissertation investigates the role of
startups in promoting sustainability and
tackling food security issues in India. By
analysing current trends, challenges, and
opportunities, the study aims to identify
entrepreneurial solutions that can
contribute to enhancing food security
while ensuring environmental and social
sustainability. Through case studies,
interviews, surveys, analysis of existing
policies, collecting and analysing
quantitative data on key indicators
related to food security, such as
agricultural productivity, food
distribution networks, and access to nutritious food, to assess the
effectiveness of startup interventions and
to gain the deep insights into the
entrepreneurial ecosystem of the food
industry. Through the analysis of industry dynamics and other quantitative
and qualitative data using a thematic
analysis framework and other relevant
statistical software, this research
provides in-depth actionable insights for
startups, policymakers, and stakeholders
to foster sustainable entrepreneurship in
the Indian food sector and improve food
security outcomes.
