Land use and cropping patten analysis of Kerala agroecosystem and food insecurity
      Bharath Chandran C
Abstract: Kerala is not the first place to look when searching for food insecurity in India, but the dependency on other states for meeting its demand will paint a different picture. Along with declining production of major food crops, conversion of fallows and wetlands to non-agricultural purposes leads to fragmentation and pressure on already declining agricultural land area. The study is an extension of previous studies carried regarding the same topic, but there is a research gap after 2012. Hence the study is to include secondary data available to calculate agricultural growth in the state using Cuddy Della Valle instability index and CAGR (Compound Annual growth Rate). Crop diversification was also calculated to measure the extent of diversification within the state which shows a higher level of diversification at crop level.
