Write an essay on the present status of indian agriculture
Answers
Agriculture in India seemingly is moving in the right direction although there are huge problems when it comes to resources. Why I have a positive outlook is because more and more city dwellers are attracted to organic farming, self-sustainability, hydroponics, urban gardening, vermi composting, dairy, goat-rearing, exotic fruit orchards, etc. Drip irrigation seems to be the answer to lack of water in many regions of the country today. Mechanization is slowly taking over to deal with shortage of human labor. Drones, sensors, scientific farming, sustainable agriculture, diversified farming, use of bio fertilizers and bio pesticides are slowly making their way into farms in a true sense now. There are still a whole lot of problems like bad transportation (infrastructure) facilities, marketing problem (the middlemen problem), but nevertheless I see- in a decade when the boundaries between villages and cities fade away Indian Agriculture will be a hot sector.
