Food insecurity in Meghalaya is particularly a concern for:

• Poverty: The state has a high poverty rate, which makes it difficult for people to afford food.
• Lack of access to land: Many people in Meghalaya do not own land, which makes it difficult for them to grow their own food.
• Climate change: Climate change is causing erratic weather patterns, which are making it difficult for farmers to grow crops.
• Conflict: The state has been affected by conflict in recent years, which has disrupted food production and distribution.

The government of Meghalaya is taking steps to address food insecurity, including:

• Providing food assistance to vulnerable populations
• Investing in agriculture and rural development
• Promoting climate-resilient agriculture
• Reducing conflict

However, more needs to be done to address this serious problem.
