Indiaâs National Food Security Act, 2013 marks a historic shift from a welfare-based to a rights-based approach to food security. The importance of âwildâ food gathered from landscapes like forests, water, mountains, grasslands â or lack thereof â for food and nutrition security of indigenous peoples and pastoralists remains underexposed. This evidence-based paper examines forest-based food cultures vis-Ã -vis the Actâs subsidized food grains. This paper proposes a âright to forest foodâ governance framework to analyse the data. Primary data was collected from 12 distinct indigenous communities living in tribal India. This study result shows that agri-food and not forest food is promoted by the Actâs public distribution system, which is ill suited to ensure indigenous peoplesâ food security. The paper highlight implications of âcultural acceptabilityâ and Aadhar â identity card regulations in the human right to food.
