The degraded environment worsens conditions of the poor by limiting their already
restricted access to production resources .this applies particularly in the rural water
resources,soil and forestry, which comprise the resources base for agriculture.
Factors affecting agricultural production:-

o Solar radiation.…
o Windvelocity....
o Soil moisture.

What certainly is not good for Indian farming is
that 30% of marginal and small farmers are still
illiterate. that compromises their capacity to
manage farm inputs in appropriate combinations
for specific crop.
