The paper critically analyzes the total energy supply demand balance in India. On the background of this overview, the paper then examines several alternative energy scenario with particular emphasis on food energy relationship. It was shown that biomass energy has tremendous potentialistic in India and perhaps it is the inevitable in the alternative energy-food scenario in India. The conceptual and analytical framework thus developed in the paper on the inevitability of biomass energy in food-energy nexus, and substantiated by four micro level case studies under field condition in India.
