The document discusses the role of agriculture in rural development in India. It notes that agriculture significantly contributes to rural development as over 68% of Indians live in rural areas and agriculture is the primary livelihood. While agriculture's contribution to GDP has declined from 17.7% to 14.1%, it still employs over half of India's workforce and produces over 280 million tonnes of food grains annually. Rural employment has shifted from cultivators to agricultural laborers as fewer people work in agriculture.

“The prosperity of India lies in the prosperity of Villages”--- Mahatma Gandhi
As there is a lot of change in the occupational structure of India since independence. But change in the overall
economy did not have a pronounced effect on rural economies as Indian population still depends largely on
agriculture sector. So, pressure on land should be reduced by giving priority to Rural Non-Farm
Activities(RNFA). Food Processing is one of the such Non-Farm Activity (NFA) which can play a crucial role in
reducing unemployment, poverty and enhances development activities in rural areas. This paper is an attempt to
explain about the significance and performance of important non-farm activity – The food processing industry
(FPI) in India. Further it highlights the major problems faced by FPI. At last it concludes with some remedial
measures for improving their performance
Agriculture in India has a significant history. Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. The economic contribution of agriculture to India's GDP is steadily declining with the country's broad-based economic growth. Still, agriculture is demographically the broadest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall socio-economic fabric of India.

In the current study, we have analyzed the contribution of agricultural sub-sectors growth rate to
the agriculture GDP growth rate of Pakistan by using secondary data from 2001 to 2015. Ordinary Least
Square (OLS) method was applied to estimate the model parameter. For this purpose the study considered a
dependent variable of agriculture GDP growth rate and several independents variables include major, minor
crops, livestock, fishery and forestry. The regression analysis of the data showed a positive and significant
contribution in agriculture GDP growth rate. However, fishery and forestry sub-sectors contribute growth rates
were considered poor as compared with other sub-sectors could be due to less attention paid from the
government. Our study suggests that Government of Pakistan should consider the importance of both
agricultural sub-sectors to increase there’s contribution growth rate towards agriculture GDP growth rate in
Pakistan.

Performance of agro based industries in IndiaRAVICHANDIRANG
Industrial development not only depens on innovation and capital outflow in a country, but also it needs availability of raw materials and adequate physical infrastructural facilities. Agriculture is one of the major raw material providing sector for major industries like paper, sugar, textile, fertilizers, chemical, edible oil, etc., Agro-based industries can play an important role to a large extent in solving the problem of poverty, unemployment and inequality in India and can significantly contribute to the overall development of the economy by efficiently utilizing the local raw materials which consequently may result in increase of gainful employment opportunities to poor people mainly landless, marginal and small farmers. This paper discuss in the performance of agro based industries in India.
Determinants of non-farm employment in Punjab: Evidence from National Sample ...AI Publications
There is growing consensus among the social scientist that for the development of rural economy, rural non-farm sector should be thriving. The present study is an attempt to study the factors enabling the rural households of Punjab to participate in the rural non-farm activities. In the present study, the household level data of National Sample Survey Organization’s employment-unemployment 50th round and 68th round is utilized. The rural households of Punjab are categorized into; self-employed, casual labourer, regular or salary earners and others in farm as well as non-farm sector. The logit regression model for both the rounds are utilised to study the factors impacting the participation as self-employed, casual labourers, and regular wage earners in rural non-farm sector. As compared to the year 1993-94, in the year 2011-12, the proportion of households earning their livelihood in rural non-farm sector has increased. Moreover, the proportion of casual labourer in rural non-farm sector has also increased. The choice of occupations among the self-employed, regular salary earners and causal labourer in the rural non-farm sector is also changing in Punjab. The factors like education, number of skilled members in the households, head’s education, household belonging to developed districts significantly impacted the choice of working in rural non-farm sector of Punjab. The study recommends that with increase in investment in education and developing the infrastructure in rural areas can develop the rural non-farm sector.
Abstract: Punjabi society is most globalised, while its economy is least globalised. It has a relatively developed agriculture without much direct linkages with the industrial development. During sixties, India agriculture experienced a spectacular increase in production, especially, in that of wheat and rice. It was mainly through an increase in productivity per hectares of these crops. The jump in the rate of increase in productivity of these crops was so sudden and conspicuous that some economists termed the new change as 'Green Revolution’ The main benefits of green revolution were: Increase in food grain output, increase in market surplus, generation of more employment opportunities in the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, having such great benefits green revolution was not a blessing for the farmers in Punjab. It added lots of problems in the lives of the farmers and made their life full of misery. Punjab has produced a number of paradoxes. The thrust of the paper is to suggest agricultural reforms for future course of growth and development for agriculture sector and ways and means to improve sustainability of agriculture production.

The agriculture sector which employs more than 55% of the country workforce whereas share of agriculture and allied sector to total GDP is 14.1% (2011-12). The farm sector achieved 3.6% growth during the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12), falling short of the 4% growth target, although it was much higher than growth of 2.5 and 2.4% during 9th and 10th plan respectively. Thus, the sector needs urgent reforms to boost crop yields and private investment in infrastructure so as to motivate farmers and feed the growing population. At the latest Economic Survey (2012-13) points out that “India is at a juncture where further reforms are urgently required to achieve greater efficiency and productivity in agriculture for sustaining growth. There is a need to have stable and consistent policies where markets play a deserving role and private investment in infrastructure is stepped up. An efficient supply chaim that firmly establishes the linkage between retail demand and the farmer will be important”
Agriculture has been the major source of livelihood in Nigeria, primarily because the environment is favorable for Agricultural practice. On the basis of climate, topography and vegetation the country is divided into five agricultural zones, namely Dry sub humid, Sub-humid, very humid and swamp/flood. Subsistence agriculture formed the major system of farming in the olden days which provide food crops for human consumption, while surplus are transported to the local markets for sale. Subsistence agriculture also forms the basis upon which all other system of farming are built. Hence, this paper examines the problems and prospects of subsistence agriculture in Ibarapa East local Government Area of Oyo State. Ten farming centres were used as samples in the area. Questionnaires were used to collect relevant data. Percentage and T-test distribution techniques were used to analyze the data. The findings show that there is low agricultural production in the study area as a result of problems such as shortage of fund, land tenure system, inadequate transportation system among others.
