It can fill the stomachs of millions of people in the world. In India, there is sufficient stock of food grains due to the farmer-friendly policies of the central government and the working farmers. Along with this meeting, a debate on the food crisis is also to be held in the United Nations Security Council. This crisis has mainly arisen due to the impact of wheat supplies from Ukraine and international sanctions imposed on Russia.
