Women, Food and Futures of Nutritional Justice offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of the nutritional challenges, opportunities, and lived realities of farm women in Eastern India. Despite being central to food production, post-harvest operations, and household nutrition management, farm women often remain disadvantaged in access to nutritious food, awareness, health services, and policy support. This book brings their perspectives to the forefront through a rich blend of empirical research and sociocultural context. Drawing upon extensive field studies carried out in multiple blocks of the Cooch Behar district, the book analyzes key dimensions such as dietary diversity, nutritional status, gender roles, livelihood opportunities, and health-seeking behavior. It integrates concepts from rural sociology, agricultural extension, gender studies, and nutrition science to unravel the multilayered determinants of nutritional security among women in agriculture. The authors explore the transformative role of farm diversification, homestead/kitchen gardening, women-led Self-Help Groups (SHGs), local food systems, and income-generating activities. They emphasize how enhancing women’s access to knowledge, resources, credit, and training can strengthen household food security and advance community nutrition outcomes. Real-life case studies, success stories, and participatory models from the field illustrate the effectiveness of integrated, gender-sensitive interventions. With clear policy insights and practical recommendations, this book serves as a vital guide for academicians, students, extension personnel, NGOs, and development practitioners. It meaningfully contributes to national conversations on women’s empowerment, rural development, and sustainable nutrition-sensitive agriculture in India.
