117 1

Across India, climate and livelihood policies increasingly recognize women, but largely as vulnerable groups or beneficiaries. Women are visible in policy documents, State  Action Plans on Climate Change, watershed programmes, and rural livelihood missions as recipients of  support or participants in implementation.

Food fortification is scientifically defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as the practice of deliberately increasing the content of one or more essential micronutrients (i.e. minerals and vitamins, including trace elements) in a food so as to improve the nutritional quality of the food supply and provide a public health benefit with minimal risk to health. From the purview of public policy in the Indian context, it deals with the state intervention or government efforts to combat malnutrition and other deficiencies via structured public policy schemes in the food sector.
