Answer 2

Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. Agriculture plays a major role in economic growth and development. As the provider of food it has a very important place in the existence of human life. As a producer of industrial raw materials it is an important contributor to economic activity in other sectors of the economy.

Agriculture is a user of natural resources, particularly land and water. Its activities have a major impact on the availability of these resources and their quality. As an industry founded on biology, agriculture has a major impact on ecosystems and on non- agricultural plants and animals, particularly in terms of biodiversity. As with most forms of human activity,

agricultural activities can have negative environmental impacts manifested in soil degradation and erosion, air and water pollution, and loss of biodiversity.

However, in contrast to many other forms of economic activity, agriculture can also generate positive

externalities as reflected in the creation and maintenance of attractive landscapes, and contributing to the

management of water supplies and maintenance of wildlife habitat.
