The findings emphasize strategies to stabilize prices, improve supply chain resilience, and strengthen the linkages between production and markets. This book serves as an essential resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders seeking to mitigate food inflation and foster a more efficient and stable agricultural economy in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\/ Editors \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Shyma Jose \u003c\/strong\u003eis an Assistant Professor at Jesus and Mary College, Delhi University, and was a former Research fellow at ICRIER.
