'Food security not an issue if resources are managed well'

Sustainable food security will not a problem if scarce resources like water and energy are managed well, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said on Saturday.

"The essence of whole concept of sustainability is how you handle things .... So, in my view energy and water are scarce resources. If we can handle energy and water problems, food security is not a problem," he said in his address at Delhi Sustainable Development Summit, 2014, organised by The Energy and Resources Institute (Teri).
