Abstract: Rural India today is not fodder- secure and the grim reality is that food security in this country is impossible without fodder security. We lack policies on how to feed nearly 500 million animals. Our agriculture production is stagnating and our farmers are shifting to crops that do not yield fodder resulting into a crisis. Shrinkage of cultivable land due to urbanization and shortage of water, limit the possibility of producing more feed and fodder to livestock from land.
