India is an agriculturally important country. Two-thirds of its population is
engaged in agricultural activities. Agriculture is a primary activity, which
produces most of the food that we consume. Besides food grains, it also
produces raw material for various industries.
Agriculture is an age-old economic activity in our country. Over these
years, cultivation methods have changed significantly. Farming varies
from subsistence to commercial type.
. Why have the cultivation methods changed
Answers
Answer:
The impact of globalization on Indian agriculture has been felt since colonial times.
Raw cotton and spices were important export items from India. In 1917, Indian farmers revolted in Champaran against being forced to grow indigo in place of food grains, in order to supply dye to Britain's flourishing textile industry. Thus, globalisation has had its boons and banes for Indian agriculture.
Post liberalization, Indian farmers face new challenges in the form of competition from highly subsidized agriculture of developed nations. This prompts the need for making Indian agriculture successful and profitable by improving the conditions of small and marginal farmers, countering the negative effects of Green Revolution, developing and promoting organic farming, and diversifying cropping pattern from cereals to high-value crops.
