Question

Today Indian agriculture finds itself at the cross road. Explain it

Answer 1

Indian agriculture is at the cross roads, Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, father of India's first Green Revolution, has warned.

Lamenting on the state of Indian farmers, especially farmers with small land-holdings, Dr. Swaminathan said, "The market economy certainly is not friendly to small farmers. WTO regulations are also hindrance. Even in the United States which is the heartland of the free market economy, farmers are insulated from market shocks through heavy subsidies under the Green Box Provisions of WTO."

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, this is true that today, Indian Agriculture finds itself at the crossroads.

India is a country where more than 50% of the population are engaged in Agricultural activities. They are totally dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. But today the development in agricultural sector is found to be very less. There are no proper use of technology in these activities. Many of the farmers are still dependent on traditional use of farming. The farmers also don't get sufficient capital for production. The modern technology such as use of HYV seeds, Pesticides etc are not used regularly. Many farmers doesn't get loans when need. The government also doesn't support these people fully. Due to agricultural loss many Indian farmers committee suicide every year. Thus we can say that "Today, Indian agriculture finds itself at the crossroads."
