Question

Why improvement in food resources is important?

Answer 1

India has a population of 1.311 billion , badging a second position in the most populous country.

India have a land area of 3.287 million km² and available for cultivation is 159.7 million hectare.

____________________________________________________________

To feed this large number of population, the traditional method would be futile, before the 1900's lakhs of people died of scarcity of food.

Hence we needed a better technology and improvement in the food sector, to fulfill the needs of the growing population.

Green revolution was established in 1943, which was a massive programme in development in the food and food security sector. Which used modern crop techniques and scientific way of developing crop and was not only able to feed the population of our country alone, but had become capable enough to  export to other countries

White revolution led to a large production of milk and diary products

Blue revolution led to increased production of fishes and fisheries sector.

Hence improvement in food resources was essential to suffice the need of the growing population which cannot be met by traditional method of crop cultivation. 

Answer 2

Heyyyy Nikki,,


Improvement in food resources is important because of the following reasons:-
1) Agriculture and animal husbandry provide us with all our animal and plant food.

2) For feeding the ever increasing Indian population, our capacity of manufacturing crop plants and livestock should be increased through various efforts like green revolution and white revolution. But this should be done in a sustainable manner without destroying our environment.

3) Improving the financial status of people, especially those involved in agricultural practices is essential to provide food security to everyone.

4) Different crops provide us with different types of nutrients. Crops Nutrients Carbohydrates Cereals Proteins Pulses Fats Oil seeds Vitamins and minerals Vegetables, spices and fruits

5) The optimum requirement of temperature, water, light and other conditions vary for different crops.

6) Kharif crops like paddy and cotton are grown in rainy season whereas rabbi crops like wheat and mustard are grown in winter season.

7) Crop variety improvement, crop production improvement and crop protection management helps to increase the crop yields.

8) A crop variety possessing several desirable characteristics should be selected to produce a good yield.


9) Hybridisation and genetic modification techniques introduce the useful characters into crop plants.

10) It is desirable to develop crops that can survive and give good yields in different climatic conditions and areas.
