Book Description
Increasing income and urbanization are triggering a rapid change in food consumption patterns in India. This report assesses India’s changing food consumption patterns and their implications on future food and water demand. According to the projections made in this study, the total calorie supply would continue to increase, but the dominance of food grains in the consumption basket is likely to decrease by 2050, and the consumption of non-grain crops and animal products would increase to provide a major part of the daily calorie supply. Although the total food grain demand will decrease, the total grain demand is likely to increase with the increasing feed demand for the livestock. The implications of the changing consumption patterns are assessed through consumptive water use (CWU) under the assumptions of full or partial food self-sufficiency.

Book Description
The world is poised on the threshold of economic changes that will reduce the income gap between the rich and poor on a global scale while reshaping patterns of consumption. Rapid economic growth in emerging-market economies is projected to enable consumers worldwide to spend proportionately less on food and more on transportation, goods, and services, which will in turn strain the global infrastructure and accelerate climate change. The largest gains will be made in poorer parts of the world, chiefly sub-Saharan Africa and India, followed by China and the advanced economies. In this new study, Tomas Hellebrandt and Paulo Mauro detail how this important moment in world history will unfold and serve as a warning to policymakers to prepare for the profound effects on the world economy and the planet.

Book Description
Food consumption patterns and practices are rapidly changing in Asia and the Pacific, and nowhere are these changes more striking than in urban areas. This book brings together scholars from anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, tourism, architecture and development studies to provide a comprehensive examination of food consumption trends in the cities of Asia and the Pacific, including household food consumption, eating out and food waste. The chapters cover different scales of analysis, from household research to national data, and combine different methodologies and approaches, from quantifiable data that show how much people consume to qualitative findings that reveal how and why consumption takes place in urban settings. Detailed case studies are included from China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea and Vietnam, as well as Hawai'i and Australia. The book makes a timely contribution to current debates on the challenges and opportunities for socially just and environmentally sound food consumption in urbanizing Asia and the Pacific.

Book Description
India, a country with high concentrations of poor and malnourished people, long promoted a cereal-centric diet composed of subsidized staple commodities such as rice and wheat to feed its population of more than a billion. Today, however, dietary patterns are changing. Policy makers, researchers, and health activists are looking for ways to fight hunger and malnutrition in the country. As they shift their focus from calorie intake to nutrition, neglected foods such as pulses (the dried, edible seeds of legumes) are gaining attention. Pulses for Nutrition in India: Changing Patterns from Farm to Fork explores the numerous benefits of a diet that incorporates pulses. Pulses, including pigeonpeas, lentils, and chickpeas, are less expensive than meat and are excellent sources of protein. In India, people consume pulses and other legumes for protein intake. Pulses also benefit the ecosystem. Among protein-rich foods, pulses have the lowest carbon and water footprints. Pulses also improve soil health by naturally balancing atmospheric nitrogen in the soil; thus, growing pulses reduces the need for nitrogenous fertilizer. Pulses for Nutrition in India: Changing Patterns from Farm to Fork looks at the country’s pulses sector in light of agricultural systems, climate change, irrigation design, and how policies (including the Green Revolution) have evolved over time. To understand how pulses can help fulfill the objectives of India’s food policies, experts explore the role that pulse production plays in global trade; the changing demand for pulses in India since the 1960s; the possibility of improving pulse yields with better technology to compete with cereals; and the long-term health benefits of greater reliance on pulses. The analyses in Pulses for Nutrition in India: Changing Patterns from Farm to Fork contribute to the emerging literature on pulses and will aid policy makers in finding ways to feed and nourish a growing population.

Book Description
With a rapidly expanding economy many changes are taking place in India today. The business-as-usual (BAU) scenario, which assumes the continuation of current trends of key water demand drivers, will meet the future food demand. However, it leads to a severe regional water crisis by 2050, where many river basins will reach closure, will be physically water-scarce and will have regions with severely overexploited groundwater resources. While the alternative scenarios of water demand show both optimistic and pessimistic water futures, the scenario with additional productivity growth is the most optimistic, with significant scope for reducing future water demand.

The report elucidates the structure of Indian bakery industry, its classification in various products (Biscuits, bread, cakes, pastries, buns and rusks) and then provides a categorical overview of bread and the biscuits sector. The Indian biscuit sector is dominated by players like Britannia, Parle and Sunfeast brand (ITC) together with other small players like Priyagold, Anmol Biscuits, Cremica etc whereas bread sector has only two major players, Britannia and Modern; and a host of regional players like Harvest Gold, Bonn, Vibbs etc. The report provides an expansive market analysis of the Indian bakery sector by covering areas like growth drivers, trends prevailing in the industry as well as comprehensive SWOT analysis of the sector. The report indentifies growth factors of the industry as changing perception of the bakery products coupled with changing lifestyles of the Indian population. Consumption of bakery products was not in the Indian culture; however with changing eating habits of the people and with rising western influence on food consumption patterns, bakery products today have got takers from all age groups in the country. Rising preference for premium biscuit category is another factor that will contribute in the volume growth for the industry. Glucose segment has been losing its share to categories like cookies and cream biscuits which are growing at a much higher rate than the overall biscuit sector. Also the industry has been experiencing fortification of the bakery products in order to satiate the burgeoning appetite of the ‘health conscious’ Indian. Numerous healthy products have been launched in the bakery segment and are gaining popularity at a high rate. Mounting presence of bakery chains has further triggered the growth in the sector. Several international bakery chains have entered in India recognizing potential of the industry. Trends that have been gaining ground in the sector are e-retailing of the bakery products, aggressive expansion plans of the incumbents as well as technological and ingredients advancement. Just when you thought that electronics and clothes were the only popular categories in e-retailing, there came bakery products which have been gaining traction in the e-retailing segment. Bakers are also bringing innovation and advancement in the technology and ingredients they use. Packaging front has also seen some changes in the past years. The report further evaluates the position of the industry by providing insights to the SWOT analysis of the industry. Large Indian population, abundant supply of raw materials and low capital requirements are some strengths of the bakery segment in India. India is among top producers of key raw materials of the bakery industry which puts sector in the sweet spot. The sector faces challenges in the form of raw material fluctuations, high taxation as well as its unorganized nature. Industry’s raw materials being agricultural in nature are exposed to seasonal fluctuations in terms of availability and price movements. Rising competition in the sector due to low capital requirements and high growth rate of the sector is another impediment faced by the industry. However even after such challenges, the industry has opportunities galore. Low consumption of bakery products in the industry and spurt in the organized retail in the country are some of the biggest opportunities for the bakery players. Rising incomes as well as emergence of new middle class segment will also be key factors in the growth for the industry. Indian bakery segment is already in a favorable position with high rural penetration of its products which will help it tap the Indian rural consumption boom. The next segment of the report scrutinizes the demand supply scenario of the bakery industry with projections of important numbers covering the overall bakery sector as well as biscuit and bread segment also. The report also provides you a succinct view on the foreign trade of bakery products. It captures the current market size of the sector as a whole together with bread and biscuit segment coupled with forecasts for the next five years. The report also includes key player profiles of players like Britannia Industries Ltd, Parle Products Ltd, ITC Ltd, Surya Food & Agro Ltd (Priyagold) and Modern Food Industries India Ltd. The report shares vital information like shareholding pattern, revenue mix, plant location and financial summary of the aforesaid companies. The next segment provides complete financial comparison of bakery companies in India. Indian bakery industry is one of the biggest sections in the processed food industry of the nation and has undergone a massive change majorly on account of changing perception of bakery products and evolving consumer tastes. Rising urbanization and growth in the disposable incomes of the Indian population has proven to be a magnet for international bakery chains owing to which the sector has seen an influx of foreign bakery companies foraying into India which has helped in improving the quality of Indian bakery products. Today there is a constant effort by the bakery players to innovate their product line to match up to Indian palate. Driven by evolving perception of bakery products in India, consumption boom in the nation and changing consumer preferences, we estimate the Indian bakery industry to touch levels of INR 483 billion in the next five years.
