| Abstract: | This report looks at the linkages between migration, urbanisation and food security in India. Urban-centric nature of India’s recent economic growth is driving millions of rural dwellers to seek livelihoods in cities. But urban expansion is occurring without decent jobs which can make rural-urban migrants vulnerable to food and nutritional insecurity. Using a case-study approach involving primary survey with nearly 600 low-skilled migrant workers in the fast- growing city of Bengaluru, this research shows overall high levels of food insecurity among migrants and argues that food research and policy agendas in India that have hitherto focused on rural areas must expand to cities and towns where food and nutritional insecurity are increasingly concentrated. |
