PERSPECTIVE OPEN ACCESS Rural Settlement Expansion and Its Effect on Food Security in Salanpur, West Bengal, India Sumana Nandi†* and Dr Nandi & Mistri. Space and Culture, India 2019, 6:5 Page | 198 https://doi.org/10.20896/saci.v6i5.346 PERSPECTIVE OPEN ACCESS Rural Settlement Expansion and its Effect on Food Security in Salanpur, West Bengal, India Sumana Nandi†* and Dr. Tapas MistriÌ Abstract The settlement may be viewed as the manifestation of delicate human-nature interaction and cultural impression of humanity in the landscape system. With the progress of civilisation, the perception of use of natural resources and cultural development become ever-changing phenomena that causes the changes in the rural settlement all over the world. Salanpur C.D. Block of Paschim Bardhhaman district has registered an unusual settlement arrangement and spatio- temporal changes. Using satellite imageries and competent GIS technologies it is observed that an unplanned growth of rural settlement has developed in this part of West Bengal. This paper examines the spatio-temporal dynamics of the rural settlement over ten years (2008-2018), employing PR index, and SI index. In doing so, it, analyses the dynamic change of rural settlement at Gram Panchayat Level and its relation with overall land-use in the study area. This paper also envisages how the rural settlement expansion affects the various dimension of food security in Salanpur C. D. Block. Along with this, the Spearman Rank-order Correlation Coefficient (rho=p) is also applied to comprehend the effect of the rural settlement expansion on regional food security. Growth of rural settlement towards productive agricultural land, unequal access to food, insufficiency in clean water, sanitation, and health care facility are also indicators of increasing threat to the long run food security of the people in the study area. The result shows a positive correlation between the rural settlement expansion index (SI) and food insecurity Index (FISI), it indicating that if the rural settlements expand, it would enhance the risk of food insecurity of the area. Development and growth are the buzz of the modern era, but the dark side of it is that destruction of agricultural lands would be ultimately responsible for food insecurity and uneven economic growth. The findings suggest that lopsided and unplanned growth of settlements is pose threats on food security of the study area. Therefore, sound planning is required to come out of these potential threats for the sake of the inhabitants.

Nandi & Mistri. Space and Culture, India 2019, 6:5 Page | 199 Introduction secure regional food system is a system that The key purpose of this research is to examine allows the region to meet the nutritional and the impact of the expansion of settlement on dietary needs of its population without food security. It is well established that the compromising the region's future ability to settlement is often regarded as the continue to do so. It incorporates three aspects manifestation of delicate human-nature of sustainability: ecologic or environmental interaction and cultural imprint of humanity in sustainability, economic viability, and social the landscape system. With the progress of equity (Beil, et al., 2014). Commonly, the most society, the perception of the use of natural used definition of food security is the definition possessions and aesthetic improvement become extracted from the 1996 World Food Summit: a continually changing phenomenon that causes Food security, at the individual, to the alterations of the rural settlement all over household, national, regional and global the world. “Since the early days of human levels[is achieved when all people, at all civilisation, the settlement has been one of the times, have physical and economic main foot prints of humanity on the Earth’s access to sufficient, safe and nutritious terrestrial ecosystems” (Bar-Massada, et al., food to meet their dietary needs and 2014: 429). Settlements seem to be the food preferences for an active and foremost dynamic human component over the healthy life . earth’s surface. It needs serious geographical “Nutrition insecurity is sometimes used investigations and scientific explorations (Sarkar, interchangeably with food insecurity” (Jones, et 2010). In India, a very modest number of al.,2013: 482). The Food and Agricultural literatures has been inscribed on rural Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations defines settlement systems in contrast with the sizeable nutrition security as “A situation that exists number of literature appearing on the urban when secure access to an appropriately systems. The literature that exists is mainly nutritious diet plus a hygienic setting, adequate devoted to the historical and temporal evolution health services and care, so as to make sure a of individual rural villages and their spatial forms healthy and active life for all household and types, but the rural settlement expansion members”. patterns and their spatiotemporal dynamics are rarely reflected. Ascertaining the past and Haphazard and unplanned growth of rural present settlement aspects is very much settlement not only influence the food security important to elucidate the future trend of through the conversion of agricultural land into settlement pattern. This research studies the non-agricultural use and its effect on physical spatiotemporal dynamics of a rural settlement and economic access to available food product over ten years (2008-2018) and its relation with but it also challenges the equal and secure overall land-use in the Salanpur, West Bengal. access to proper sanitary environment, quality water, and sufficient health services and care to Changes in the system of land use can often, safeguard the overall dimension of food security. however, lead to very unfavourable secondary FAO identifies four dimension of food security- effects on the fragile natural environment food availability (that is production and imports (Dhinwa, et al., 1992).These effects become of food), food access (social and economic worldwide vital through their accumulation access to food), food utilisation (safe and effects and its impact on food security, caused by nutritious food can be utilised) and food stability the transformation of agrarian land into rural (all people at all times). Land use planning can and urban built-up area due to the population play a key role in protecting farmland and explosion. The rapid rural residential thereby safeguard the food supply (Beil, et al., development is threatening food security and 2014).The next section reviews the relevant local ecological safety (Xie and others2005). A literature that underpins the research. Nandi & Mistri. Space and Culture, India 2019, 6:5 Page | 200 Review of Literature et al., 2019; Chen, 2007; Verburg et al., 2000; Zhupley et al., 2018). Ever since India’s independence, the planners realised the need to attain self-sufficiency in Within the context of India, with an aim to food grains as one of the critical goals of planning identify the food insecure states, M.S. (Datt & Sundharam, 2002). The agricultural Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) and development policies have aimed at reducing WFP (World Food Programme), jointly prepared hunger, food insecurity, malnourishment, and and distributed the following atlases: Food poverty (Acharya, 2009). The concept of food Insecurity Atlas of Rural India (April, 2001), Food security has evolved, developed, multiplied and Insecurity Atlas of Urban India (October, 2002), diversified since the first World Food Conference Atlas of the Sustainability of Food Security in of 1974. However maintaining food security at India (February, 2004), State of Food Insecurity the national and household levels continues to in Rural India (2008) and State of Food Insecurity be a major concern for India, both for the in Urban India (2010). The purposes of these welfare of the people as well as for political atlases were to understand the types and the stability (Kumar et al., 2012).
