2. BACKGROUND
As agriculture remains a key sector in rural areas
it continues to have great potential for reducing
poverty and hunger in the rural sector. Through the
update of modern agricultural technologies, India has
moved from an era of chronic food shortages and
“begging bowl' status upto 1960s to food self
sufficiencyandevenfoodexports.Thegreenrevolution
technologies along with several policy support
measures adopted and implemented such as fertilizer
subsidy and extension system helped to achieve self
sufficiency in food grain production in staple crops such
as rice and wheat. But the green revolution ensured
food security at the macro level but not completely at
the household level. Increase in population size,
shrinking arable land resources, soil degradation and
depletion of nutrients for the soil, poor water
management and unsustainable use of the ground
water, loss of momentum in the growth of food out-
put, inefficient biological utilization of the nutrients
consumedduetopoorenvironmentresultingingrowth
retardation and emergence of several diet related
chronic diseases are some of the major problems the
country may have to face in the long march towards
human development. Nutrition security is best defined
as “physical, economic, social and environmental
access to balanced diet and clean drinking water for all
and for ever. In India, a significant proportion of the
families consume food that may not have enough
micronutrients and are unable to afford fruit,
vegetables and animal foods needed to provide
balanced diet. The result is a devastating public health
problem, referred as 'hidden hunger'. The effects of
intensive agricultural practices, increasing population
pressure, climatic changes, environmental pollution,
loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, stalinization and water
depletion are all threatening the sustainability of
agriculture. Development of high yielding input
efficient, resistant to abiotic as well as biotic stresses
and better quality breeds can offset the cost of
production to be globally relevant. Dynamically
evolving biotechnological tools are being deployed to
realize high productivity, profitability, quality and
ecological sustainability to meet social as well as
economic aspirations of farming and related
communities. The present thrust is on ecological and
economic access to food through poverty alleviation,
higher profit to the farmers, and sustainability of
resources, import substitution, quality and production
forexport.Takingtheconsiderations of theabovefacts,
the department of Agronomy, BCKV going to organize
this National Seminar for addressing the various issues
related to the contemporary research on sustainable
advances in agricultural production without causing
anyharmtotheenvironment.
