Agriculture in West Bengal is predominantly smallholder-centric, with small and marginal farmers forming the majority of agricultural stakeholders. The focus of these farmers often extends beyond staple crops like paddy and wheat, with some districts successfully engaging in commercially viable potato farming. This provides a unique lens to assess food and nutrition security in the state through statistical analysis. A significant area for analysis is the nutritional output of crops cultivated in West Bengal versus their market accessibility. For instance, while West Bengal is a leading rice producer, the state's poor and marginal farmers have limited access to the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system. This can impact the local affordability and availability of rice, a staple food, potentially leading to nutritional insecurities among low-income groups. Statistical studies could explore the correlation between paddy cultivation areas, MSP accessibility, and local malnutrition rates. Further, the state's successful potato farming under forward contracts offers an opportunity for economic upliftment and improved nutrition through diversification. Potatoes are a rich source of energy and micronutrients like potassium and vitamin C. Analyzing yield trends, contract efficacy, and their impact on household nutrition could provide valuable insights. Additionally, a comparative analysis of food quality and pricing between Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) regulated markets and open markets under the repealed Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce Act (FPTC Act) could be insightful. Farmers in West Bengal, who lease unviable lands for profit-sharing, showcase adaptability, but data on income stability and food consumption patterns among these farmers could reveal gaps in food security and nutrition. Overall, incorporating food production, farmer income, and nutritional outcomes into statistical models can illuminate the implications of agricultural policies for West Bengal’s food and nutrition security, particularly in light of its distinct socio-economic and agricultural dynamics.
