Which among the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?

Correct Option: Increasing the efficiency of farm-to-fork value chain is necessary to reduce the poverty and malnutrition.

The passage presents a stark contrast in Indian agriculture: on one hand, there is record production of food grains and oilseeds, leading to massive stock accumulation in state granaries, making India one of the top global producers of food items. On the other hand, India remains home to a quarter of the world's undernourished population, and nearly half of the households spend almost half of their income on food. This paradox of surplus food production existing alongside widespread malnutrition and high food-expenditure burdens indicates severe inefficiencies in food distribution, supply chain, and economic accessibility. Therefore, the most logical corollary is that increasing the efficiency of the farm-to-fork value chain (distribution, storage, and retail network) is necessary to reduce poverty and malnutrition, as captured in Option A.
