Abstract
This paper has analyzed the effects of massive public procurement of food grains and their indirect impact on the environmental front. For decades, the practice of food grains procurement has created a barrier to a more equitable and sustainable procurement. We have applied the concept of system dynamics to analyze the critical loops that played a significant role in the current scenario. We have proposed equity as an alternative approach to counter the skewed procurement and sustainability issue.
