| Sumari: | The paper examines the question of food security viz-a-viz food
availability and self sufficiency in production. Given the cropping pattern
in Kerala it is unrealistic to expect food self-sufficiency. However, through
a pro-poor public policy regime, Kerala has been able to enhance food
security considerably. This situation is currently being challenged as a

Public Distribution System in the country. This could lead Kerala to
accelerating its fiscal crisis should it decide to continue with the current
system of food security. |
