The Agriculture sector is one of the largest employers in India with more than 265 millions engaged in farming. More than 70% of rural India works in farms and depends on agriculture and allied sectors for livelihood. However farm incomes have seen a steady decline in recent years with low productivity being the main contributing factor. Low productivity leads to fall in farm incomes, hamper long time food security and affects India’s potential to become a global producer and exporter of food, feed and fibre. Approximately, 60% of our agriculture still remains rain dependent. Ground water is depleting at an alarming rate. The frequency and severity of natural disaster is increasing on account of climatic changes. Costs of cultivation have been rising at a faster pace than the prices of agriculture produce. The low of diminishing return have already set in squeezing farmer’s profit progressively. Fragmentation of land holdings has rendered about 80% of them as economically unviable. Mono cropping patterns are causing severe imbalances in the soils and endangering biodiversity.
