Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has ordered the renaming of the National Food Security Mission, his ministry’s flagship programme to boost output of key crops, to the Rashtriya Khadya Suraksha Evam Poshan Yojana and reoriented its focus towards meeting nutrition goals rather than setting mere food-output targets, officials said.

The scheme will now have provisions for promoting traditional nutrient-dense crop varieties which are going out of circulation, such as coarse cereals and local grains rich in micronutrients …
