Abstract/Description: | Today India is not only self-sufficient in respect of demand for food but also a net exporter of agri-products occupying 7th position globally. It is one of the top producers of cereals (wheat and rice), pulses, fruits, vegetables, milk, meat and marine fish. India now ranks 2nd world wide in farm output and is the world’s largest producer of fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, major spices, various crops such as jute, staples such as millets and castor oil seed. It is also the second largest producer of wheat and rice (Dhawan 2017). Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and fisheries accounted 13.7% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Production) in 2013 but employed 50% of the workforce. The Green Revolution during the sixties not only led to food self-sufficiency for the country but also helped to reduce the poverty and hunger. Despite five-fold increase in food grains production, as against a four-fold increase in population, India still have around 250 million people who live in poverty and about 45 million children below five years of age who are malnourished. Moreover, after 50 years of Green Revolution, the country is also facing the second-generation challenges like decline in the factor productivity, poor soil health, loss of soil organic carbon (SOC), ground and surface water pollution, water related stress, increased incidence of pests and diseases, increased cost of inputs, decline in farm profits and the adverse impact of climate change (Paroda 2018). In many parts of the country, decline in soil fertility/health is due to removal or burning of crop residues, reduced manuring, intensive cropping, imbalanced and excessive applications of fertilizers and … |
