Question

3. During the 1950's and 1960's the ever increasing population of India and several natural calamities lead
to severe food crisis. As a result, the government was forced to import food grains from foreign countries.
To increase food security the government had to increase food production. Several hectares of land were
brought under cultivation. Hybrid seed were introduced. Natural and organic fertilizers were replaced by
chemical fertilizers and locally made pesticides were replaced by chemical pesticides. As time went by.
extensive dependence on chemical farming has led to loss of land fertility. Pests are becoming immune
requiring the farmers to use stronger and costlier pesticides. Due to to increase cost of farming farmers
are falling into the trap of money lenders who are exploiting them to no end and forcing many to commit
suicide. Both consumers and farmers are now gradually shifting back to organic farming in India. It is
believed by many that organic farming is healthy. Consumers are willing to pay higher prices for the
same. Many farmers in India are shifting to organic farming due to the domestic and international demand
for organic food.​
