Abstract/Description: | Agricultural land is the crucial resource, as it has to feed the billions given the fact that it cannot be increased but only be altered. As it is the land, the basic factor of production is getting scarcer as the constraints of its exploitation due to various pressures is continuing. Indian agriculture has to carry the burden of feeding the growing population from its available agricultural land of about 142 million ha, which accounts for 43 percent of the geographical area. Some of the major concerns of rainfed agriculture are that bulk of coarse cereals, pulses, oilseeds and cotton are produced, Increasing commercial crop cultivation, more exposure to risk and high returns, land use change driven by net returns than land capability, Current fallows are increasing and grazing/pasture lands decreasing, Support two-thirds of the livestock, Investments low due to high risk and Poor extension and credit services. |
