This document discusses various methods of sustainable agriculture including city farming, vertical farming, zero energy cool chambers, rainwater harvesting, solid waste management, hydroponics, and biodynamics. It also discusses the major problems facing Indian agriculture such as population pressures, small land holdings, inadequate irrigation, depleted soil fertility, food storage issues, and lack of farm implements. Experts believe the key issues are related to lack of government support mechanisms and delivery systems as well as failure to properly manage existing infrastructure projects. Solutions proposed include creating more agricultural institutions, integrating small farmers, and public-private partnerships.

1. Agriculture
Sowing prosperity

2. Index
1) City farming
(Agriculture knocking in urban areas).
2) Vertical farming
(Different varities in small scale)
3) Zero energy cool chamber
(Low cost refrigerator)
4) Rain water harvesting

3. City Farming
- Variety of tomato and potato in cities.
With venier grafting in small scale.
- Low cost, SmallScale Large Variety
Easily Cultivated,Less Labour

4. Click icon to add pictureVERTICAL FARMING
§ Farming reduced the need of
pesticides
§ We can grow cauliflower
,cabbage, potatoes
§ Natural sunlight can be
augemented with artificial
farming
Our inspection

5. ZERO ENERGY COOL CHAMBER
-Low energy alternative to store horticulture.
-Retains the freshness of food
-can preserve vegetables and fruits for about a week.
-Can work as a low cost refrigerator.
-Requirements: The lower surface should be always wet.

6. RAIN WATER CUM HARVEST
Utilisation of rain water For fishes Preventing loss of Water

7. Sustainable Agri -Horticulture
 Efficient use of non –renewable resources
 Sustain the quality of life for farmers
Requirements:
 PH of water should be 6.5 to 7.5
Contents in manure:

8. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AND
COW DUNG MANURE
Utilisation of dead leaves in making
manures which is pollution free and eco friendly for
farmers

9. YDROPONICS
Method of growing plants using minerals
Example pitcher cultivation , hydroponic
onions with bibb cultivation and radishes to the left

10. Click icon to add pictureBiodynamics
to bring life
back into the
soil
§ Emphasizes the use of
manures ,composts and the
use of artificial chemicals on
soil and plant .
• It works from two poles the
cosmic and the earthy.

11. Six major problems faced by indian
agriculture
Population barriers
Small and fragmented land holdings
Inadequated irrigation facilities
Depleted soils fertility
Storage of food grains
Farm implements

12. Expert views
Experts of Indian agriculture believes that :-
Lack of delivery mechanisms and inadequate
supports of government.
Government failure is a major concern.
At some points we don’t talk how to manage
existing systems like interlinking of rivers,
construction of dams. Although we emphasize
on constructing new dams which is highly
expensive.
Criticism of the current policies in managing food

13. Solution of problems :-
Creating agricultural institutions like ATMA, KVK.
Providing facilities to integrate small and poor
farmers.
There should be institutional innovations like
SHG, farmer club, joint liability groups etc.
Governments can increase public private
partnership in agriculture sector

14. Conclusions :-
The critical issue in Indian agriculture are related
to knowledge and infrastructure
We have to become better at managing big
systems to achieve success in an endeavour
Although there is lack of initiatives and
institutions to tackle these issues
Small farmers who are especially vulnerable to
the monsoon should be focussed upon service
like credits should be made flexible
