“…A surge in direct producer-to-consumer sales in the U.S. may foretell a longer-term shift in consumer purchasing habits. Conversely, in many LICs, such as India, the informal sector was particularly hard hit by restrictive government responses to the crisis that prevented many actors from engaging in their livelihood activities 46 , which could lead to less household income and decreased food security.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns are creating health and economic crises that threaten food and nutrition security. The seafood sector provides important sources of employment and nutrition, especially in low-income countries, and is highly globalized, allowing shocks to propagate internationally. We use a resilience ‘action cycle’ framework to study the first five months of COVID-19-related disruptions, impacts, and responses to the seafood sector. Looking across high- and low-income countries, we find that some supply chains, market segments, companies, small-scale actors and civil society have shown initial signs of greater resilience than others. For example, frozen Ecuadorian shrimp and Chinese tilapia exports were diverted to alternative markets, while live-fresh supply chains were more impacted. COVID-19 has also highlighted the vulnerability of certain groups working in- or dependent on the seafood sector. We discuss early coping and adaptive responses, combined with lessons from past shocks, that could be considered when building resilience in the sector.

“…Groundwater users face a common pool resource problem: because they share the aquifer with other farmers, their extraction costs and the amount of water they have available to pump are affected by other farmers' pumping [20]. Negative externalities occur when production or consumption imposes an external cost on a third party.…”

“…The shortened useful life of wells leads to increased uniform annual cost in well drilling and the purchase of a pump engine. Damage caused by the reduction of the useful life of wells and pump motors is another one of the economic externalities that can be calculated using the equation followed by [20].…”

“…The abstraction of groundwater has reduced the water availability to the crops which in turn affects crop production and farmers' income. The value of the lost crop is estimated by multiplying the reduction in crop yield, area, and price of the crop [20]. The formula for calculating the reduced income for the farm is as follows;…”

“…In this view, there exist a need to study the trends and current status of groundwater use and depletion over time. These studies examine some of the externalities of agricultural operations and overuse of groundwater resources, but none of the externalities of groundwater extraction has been thoroughly examined [20]. found that the depletion of the groundwater table was mainly due to the flat or fully subsidized electricity pricing policy of Tamil Nadu and [21] found that depletion was due to resource decline.…”

Aims: To study the total negative externality cost of irrigation well investment of overexploited firka. Study Design: Purposive random sampling. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu and the survey was conducted during July 2021 and September 2021. Methodology: The sample size selected for the study is 160 which includes farmers (80 farmers+80 farmers) from Annur and Thondamuthur firka. Four villages were selected from each firka, similarly, 20 farmers from each village were selected for the study. Market price method and damage cost method were used to estimate the externality cost of overexploited firka of Coimbatore. Results: The total negative externality cost estimated from the analysis is Rs. 21.19 lakhs per hectare of gross cropped area (GCA). The damage cost of dried wells is dominant when compared to all other costs. The cost of increased pumping hours is very negligible. Conclusion: Small and marginal farmers are highly affected among different the category of farmers. The externalities can be reduced by optimal extraction of groundwater which can be achieved by monitoring done by the formal and informal institutions.

Beginning as a war-time food ration in the colonial era and going on to become India’s principal instrument to fight against hunger, PDS has emerged as India’s largest and arguably the most contentious social welfare program in the country. Having undergone multiple reforms in program delivery and design, the ‘new style’ PDS is finally beginning to deliver tangible benefits in terms of reducing latent hunger, food insecurity, and improved diet diversity. Yet, there is an intensified debate around replacing food transfers with cash transfers because PDS value chain relies upon an interlocked producer–consumer incentive structure which inhibits innovation in program design and therefore potentially limits its effectiveness in improving nutritional security. In this chapter, we argue that key to innovation in PDS is to reframe the food transfer debate as an issue of nutritional security. Improved nutrition as the scope of PDS might allow for greater deliberations upon the composition basket of the PDS, whether (and when) replacing it with cash transfers would be a feasible one.
