Agriculture has important role to play in Indian economy and society. Vibrant agriculture is necessary for ensuring food security, livelihood and as raw material to agro-processing sector.
Despite it being an important sector, it continues to be ridden by problems which have hampered its growth and ability to generate remunerative livelihood. Rising population has resulted in decline in land holding by farmers. Thus India currently has significant population of small and marginal farmers who hold 2-5 ha of land. Equitable and efficient distribution and utilisation of land has been hampered by failure of land reforms. Smaller land size restricts the possibility of mechanization to increase the yield and productivity.
