The challenges faced by North Eastern India in general and Nagaland in particular for food
and nutritional security to fast growing population needs an integrated approach for livestock
farming. With increasing population, income and urbanization, demand for animal proteins has
increased. In India, there has been a significant increase in the milk production in the last few
decades. India ranks first in the World in the total milk production. However, there is large
variation across the region in the milk production as well as consumption. This is due to many
factors including food habits of the people which develop over a period of time. Also, as economy
develops, people tend to consume more livestock products and therefore, lead to shift in food habit.
This particular argument probably stands for lack of development of dairy in North Eastern
region in particular. Nagas are known to eat highest amount of animal protein in the form of
meat. However, availability of meat is a major issue due to multiple factors. Nagaland imports
maximum numbers of pig for consumption. Pig population in India as well as in Nagaland is
decreasing and there is reports of African Swine Fever in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. This
will further lead to shortage of meat in Nagaland.
