India’s food production is highly dependent on the use of fossil fuels to access groundwater, yet the country faces groundwater deple-tion and bankruptcy in the power sector. The book investigates this food-water-energy nexus, focusing on the regional disparities within India and on the historical path dependency of each region to clarify the complex realities of today.
