I am working on:

I am currently working on a research project titled-Rapidly Changing Food Environments and Impact on Food Sustainability', which was submitted for funding under the Scheme for Promotion of Academic & Research Collaboration (SPARC), Government of India. This is a study in collaboration with Cornell University and University of Sydney. This project will generate new evidence-based framework for understanding the issue of food sustainability, using the emerging concept of food environments. Sustainable development requires deliberate choice in the direction of societal transition, but options are narrowed down by the obligation to feed a
growing population. Policy makers urgently need new frameworks to understand and address this
new complex problem
