Abstract
Today, ‘food security’ has become a sensitive but mostly relevant issue to all of us, at all levels. Even for Thailand and India, that were known as the lands of food profusion and have sometimes been dubbed by media as the ‘kitchens of the world ’; have to face a scenario where food security has become a critical subject because of the rapid changes in environment degradation and economic transformation over the past decades. Such changes have put some challenges to Thailand and India that might debunk them to the risk of the food security crisis.
