Author : Arvind Kumar and Amit Yadav
Abstract :
This study explores the use of turmeric in the Tamil Nadu region, highlighting the obstacles to its successful incorporation into programs aimed at promoting food security as well as the opportunities it offers to do so. Given its nutritional benefits and therapeutic qualities, turmeric, a spice that is abundantly grown in Tamil Nadu, has a lot of potential. However, there are a number of barriers to its sustainable production and distribution, including restricted market access, volatile prices, and the effects of climate change. Despite these obstacles, there are encouraging chances to use turmeric's adaptability and durability to support initiatives for food security. This study looks at ways to get beyond these obstacles and take advantage of Tamil Nadu's turmeric cultivation's potential to increase food security.
