What is agriculture ? 🤔

4. HISTORY OF AGRICULTURE
• Indian agriculture began by 9000 BC as a
result of early cultivation of plants.
• Double monsoon leads two harvest in a year.
• The Grow More Food Campaign (1940s) and the
Integrated Production Program (1950s)
focused on food and cash crops supply
respectively.
• In 1960s Green revolution took place.
Agriculture production rose. Export increased
at 10% in1990s.

5. • India ranks second worldwide in farm output
• Total Geographical Area - 328 million hectares
• Net Area sown - 142 million hectares
• Gross Cropped Area – 190.8 million hectares
• Major Crop Production
» Rice 94.1 million tones
» Wheat 74.8 million tones
» Coarse Cereals 36.1 million tones
» Pulses 219.3 million tones
» Oilseeds 340.3 million tones
» Food Grains 27.2 million tones

PROBLEMS

13. VARIOUS PLANT DISEASE

15. NATURAL CALAMITIES

16. INSECT ATTACK

17. LACK
OF
CREDIT

18. MEASURES TO OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM

19. • Poor farmers cannot afford the expensive
technology from their own resources in india
• So, supply of agriculture credit at easy terms
and conditions is very necessary.An amount of
• Rs. 85,177 million is disbursed by commercial
banks in 2011 and Rs. 49 billion was distributed
and issued credit or Rs. 37.4 billions during
2016-17.
SUPPLY AGRICULTURAL CREDITS

20. WATER LOGGING AND SALINITY CONTROL
• Water logging and salinity destroys about one million acre of land every
year in Punjab and Sindh. It reduces our cultivable area. For this
purpose, installation of tube wells, repair of canal banks and drainage of
water etc. are needed. The Ministry of Agriculture proposed
• to invest Rs. 18.5 billion with the objective of converting 2,00,000 acres
of irrigated land to drip and shower irrigation system

21. Sometimes, due to heavy unwanted
rains and floods agricultural
productivities destroys.
To tackle this problem it is necessary to
construct
dames and bands on rivers.
CONSTRUCTION OF DAMS

22. PROVISION OF HYV SEEDS
High yielding variety seed is not available
at suitable price in india. So, farmers have to
depend upon low quality of seeds that causes
20% reduction
in total production. Government should provide
HYV seed at minimum price in this case.

23. Farm mechanisation is necessary to remove the
problems to agriculture sector. Sowing, cultivation
and harvesting of crops through agricultural
machines increase the productive quality and
quantity.
MECHANISATION

25. Our farmers are illiterate and ill trained so, their
efficiencies are poor. Government should start
special education programmed for farmers and
give them training about farming.
TRAINING OF FARMERS

26. AGRICULTURE RESEARCH
Agricultural research is compulsory to remove the
backwardness of agriculture sector. Major agricultural
colleges and universities are only about 16 in india.
Government should increase the research work in the
field of agriculture..

28. Modern agricultural practices
enable farmers to meet ALL three
goals of sustainability: conserve
and protect natural resources;
meet the food and fuel needs of
a growing population; and be
financially viable for both growers
and consumers.
