Abstract
Food security is primarily associated to socioeconomic as well as environmental conditions of an ecosystem. The improvement in the agricultural sector and the upgrading of the food security situation are seen as vital constituents to sustainable development. However, continuing population growth, impacts of climate change and ecological degradation add to an unprecedented blend of pressures that threaten existing struggles and solutions. Strategies should be evolved so as to reduce the food gap by comprehensive food production on existing agricultural space and need not necessarily produce more food as a trade of ecological degradation. The environmental impact of food production should be reduced, particularly greenhouse gas emissions and stress on water and natural ecosystems. This article discusses the challenges and opportunities of inclusive growth in a sustainable way.

Summary
Food is the most essential resource, only to oxygen and potable water. Food insecurity and undernourishment are widespread in India. Food security is the dependent on management of factors such as water, land, aquatic resources, crops and domestic animals. Or indirectly the climate change relates to increased human activity which changes the global atmosphere [6] All these factors reinforce resulting in poor and under privileged become more food insecure. Ecological sustainability and inclusive growth In the green and ecological context, sustainability reassures production and development approaches that preserve and protect our natural assets and lessen human impact on the environment This includes protecting the present, past and future for e.g., present environmental resources (both in the natural and ‘man-made’ world), the safeguarding of historical sites and the expansion of environmental resources and assets for forthcoming consumption. Scientific knowledge on the subject should to be translated into a language that all concerned persons including the decision-makers and communities apprehend
