November 2021
Agriculture provides a source of income for more than two-thirds of India’s population. However, prior to 1950, India’s agricultural system was not as strong as it is now, and as a result, production was insufficient to meet the growing need for food. The Green Revolution, which began in the late 1960s, was a huge success storey for Indian agriculture, which incorporated some modern farming technologies. This is why, prior to the green revolution, the country was constantly plagued by famines and various food shortages, and why, today, we are confronted with the problem of overabundance.With the advancement of diverse agricultural technologies,Todaythe development of various agricultural technologies/systems, such as organic farming, genetic manipulation of crop plants, vertical farming, precision agriculture (PA), and others, has increased crop production, allowing India to combat current agricultural production issues and meet current and future food demand worldwide.Unlike wealthy countries, agriculture is our country’s backbone, and it is likely to contribute to the Indian economy. Because India has a wide range of environmental conditions throughout the year, its agriculture includes a diverse range of crops, with rice and wheat serving as the key food staples. Indian farmers additionally raise cereals, sugarcane, tubers, legumes, oilseeds, and non-edible goods like coffee, jute, cotton, rubber, and tea.However, diverse biotic and abiotic stress, water scarcity, and an expanding worldwide population have been recognized as challenges to these crops’ development. Increasing grain yield per unit area is a priority.
