Agriculture, evidently, contributes to the Indian economy and it is about 17% of the total GDP. 60% of the population get their livelihood from agriculture. Agriculture is not only an occupation but it has proven a good profession. Why I say this, because we can live without anything except food. As the slogan goes ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan’, clearly states the idea of working for the living of society. The country has 6.5 per cent of the world’s biodiversity and feeds 17-18 per cent of the global human and animal population with only 2.5 per cent of the land resources. Modern agriculture paved way for better quality, quantity and variety of the crops by the indigenous people, fishermen, forest workers, livestock breeders, and lastly invincibly our farmers. Efforts for the genetic enrichment and food security are the major concern because these will consequently merit the advantage of both farmers and broader society.
