Question

Food production in india is showing signs of stagnation.give reasons?

Answer 1

Hi.
Reasons for the decline  or stagnation in in food production:

1. Increased use of fertilizers, pesticides have badly affected the fertility of soil, in turn impacting overall agricultural production.
2. Scarcity of water- Till today most of the farmers are dependent on monsoons to meet their irrigation needs which again affects production. Scarcity of water reduces the area under irrigation.
3. Excessive Irrigation by some farmers-  excessive irrigation increases salinisation of the soil,due to evaporation that affects the fertility of soil. Irrigation may also lead to water logging of the soil which in turn effects the production of crops.Many large scale farmers have their own private wells or tube wells and over use the water, this has led to reduction in the ground water level.
4. Green revolution has turned out to be partial revolution, not all states and farmers have benefited from it in terms of increasing their production
5. There also has been reduction in net sown areas, 
6. There has been increase in land areas which is used for non agricultural purposes from 4.95% in 1960 to 7.92% in 2002. More land has been rather used for buildings, construction of roads etc.

Population is akey factor when it comes to to the food and its production. The rate at which Indian poultion is growing is alarming in a way that the  employment opportunities as compared with the grooss domestic products ability is not comparable. The poor farming skills with peasants can not achieve the foodstuffs for all these   population.
