Past studies have reported serious levels of food inse-curity and under-nutrition existing in the eastern belt of India. This study specifically examined the food consumption pattern, levels of nutrition intake and nutrient intake gap of sample households in 12 villages of Eastern India based on data collected during the agricultural year 2011–12. The results point to serious levels of nutrient intake deficit in the sample villages, though with notable disparities in its level of inci-dence. Major socio-economic and demographic vari-ables that determine the calorie deficit status of the households were identified, the knowledge of which is important while planning interventions.Keywords

Ecolabelling as a tool toensure sustainability inthe seafood value chain is gaining popularity in recent times. As a marketled intervention, ecolabelenabled fishery certification rides on the willingness of the ecologically concerned seafood consumer to pay a premium price for the fish harvested from a sustainable fisheryon the one hand, and the sensitivity ofthe multinational food chain fraternity to the reputationalrisks associated with the food they deal with, on the other. The market opportunity arising from this scenario iseffectively harnessed bythird-party certification agencies that assessthe sustainability of a fishery and certifies it for a fee. However, analysing the existing scenario through the lens of the political economy behind property rights, this article argues that the entry of non-state entities in the ecolabelling businessis not without problems which the state should beconcerned about.Keywords

Climate change and associated weather aberrations are wreaking havoc on the performance of production systems worldwide. Because of their proximity to the sea and risk of exposure, coastal wetlands are regarded as one of the most climatically vulnerable production systems. As a result, interventions to improve their adaptation and resilience to climate change are critical. We attempted to investigate the multifunctional ecosystem roles and services provided by the Pokkali and Kaipad paddy-based rotational farming systems on the southwest coast of India, which are being revived through a pilot programme implemented by the Kerala Agency for Development of Aquaculture. The physical and economic dimensions of the ecosystem services/disservices are assessed, and policy options for further land revival and area expansion of such wetlands are proposed.Keywords
