43. Diversification for Sustainable Agriculture
Efficient use of resources (Example, crops in
command area for rational sharing of water and also
types of crops as per availability of water)
Crop diversification in dark and grey areas where
groundwater exploitation is high (less water requiring
crop)
For sustainable land use and in areas of depleting soil
fertility (Example, Rice-wheat cropping)
For efficient natural resource management
44. Population and Food grains Needs
- The population as per latest census (2001-02), the
estimated population is 1033.5 million
- Requirement of food grains for Human
consumption is 174 m t (NIN, Hyderabad) and
production requirement is 195 mt
Therefore, our production is expected to be higher
than the requirement calculated on normative
method
45. We have 26 per cent population below poverty who have poor
economic access to food grains. Their low purchasing power
may not permit them to purchase 182.5 kg per capita per
annum. If they can purchase only 70 per cent of their
requirements, this would imply availability of additional 15 mt
in the market
- Food Corporation has stocks of over 60 m t
against the norm of about 24 m t
- Average pulse production during IXth Plan is 13 mt,
the requirement of pulses is about 15 mt
- Rate of growth of consumption of Rice and
Wheat is expected to decline.
Therefore, the answer to first question is in affirmative. Then
we need to diversify our agriculture
