It discusses how the Green Revolution increased agricultural production and GDP through higher crop yields but led to environmental issues. Key points include increased monocropping of wheat and rice replacing diverse crops, unsustainable groundwater extraction, problems of waterlogging and soil salinity from unplanned irrigation, and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides polluting land and water. While the Green Revolution boosted Punjab's economy, it has taken a toll on the environment and risks the long-term sustainability of agriculture in the region.
Thegreenrevolution
The document discusses the Green Revolution in India that began in the late 1960s. It aimed to increase food grain production through high-yielding seed varieties, increased fertilizer and pesticide use, and expansion of irrigation. This led to increased food production but also had negative environmental and social impacts. Alternative approaches like organic farming are seen as more sustainable solutions that avoid problems caused by intensive agriculture while maintaining food security. The Indian government is now promoting sustainable farming practices through initiatives like the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture.
Ppt impact on green revolution
The document discusses the impact of the Green Revolution. It began in the 1960s when high-yielding varieties of crops and increased use of fertilizers and irrigation led to dramatic increases in agricultural production. This included the introduction of semi-dwarf, high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice into India that doubled and tripled yields. While food grain production grew substantially, the overuse of chemicals caused issues like soil degradation and pollution over time. The Green Revolution saved many from famine but was not a sustainable solution due to its environmental impacts.

Indian cities will need to accommodate over 700 million new urban residents by 2030, requiring massive investments in housing, transportation, and other infrastructure. Current trends show supply falling far short of demand across all urban services. An estimated $1.2 trillion investment is needed to meet projected urban demand, requiring annual spending to ramp up to $90 billion by 2030. National abundance rather than scarcity can help address poverty, crime and other social issues by ensuring all citizens have access to necessary resources through efficient use of technology in areas like energy, housing, transportation and infrastructure planning.
Sangathan
The document proposes a solution to organize and provide social welfare to India's large unorganized workforce. It suggests creating an independent organization called "Sangathan" comprising volunteers and representatives from unions, cooperatives, etc. Sangathan would identify priority informal sectors, encourage workers to join unions/cooperatives, ensure workers receive government benefits, and conduct performance evaluations. A digital database would be created linking informal workers to unique IDs. Local organizations would be linked to welfare policies and funds. Challenges include initial funding, establishing guidelines for local bodies, potential employer resistance, and gaining recognition for Sangathan.

The document discusses several issues facing Indian agriculture, including small land holdings, lack of storage and irrigation, depleted soils, and the unsustainability of the Green Revolution model. It notes that nearly three-quarters of Indian families depend on rural incomes, while 70% of India's poor live in rural areas. Low agricultural productivity at both the national and individual farmer level threatens India's food security. Proposed solutions include promoting institutional farming, subsidizing soil nutrients rather than compounds, developing organic farming techniques, and expanding food processing facilities.
Agriculture sector
At 179.9 million hectares, India holds the second largest agricultural land in the world. A majority of the Indian population relies on agriculture for employment and livelihood. Steady investments in technology development, irrigation infrastructure, emphasis on modern agricultural practices and provision of agricultural credit and subsidies are the major factors contributing to agriculture growth.
The country has today emerged as a major player in the global agriculture market. Agriculture accounts for 14 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) and about 11 per cent of India’s total exports; it is also an essential link in the supply chain of the manufacturing sector and at the same time constitutes a big market for industrial products. Currently, India is the world's largest rice exporter and second in terms of wheat exports. Horticulture exports have also seen good growth. India's agro exports during 2013–14 touched US$ 45 billion as against US$ 25 billion in 2011–12.
The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organisation responsible for development of the agriculture sector in India. The organisation is responsible for formulation and implementation of national policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural growth through optimum utilisation of land, water, soil and plant resources of the country.

Organic farming presentation rrrrrrrr
Before the Green Revolution, India faced food scarcity and relied on imports due to traditional organic farming practices. In the 1960s, under M.S. Swaminathan's leadership, the Green Revolution introduced high-yielding varieties and chemical fertilizers/pesticides, increasing food production and attaining self-sufficiency. However, continuous chemical use degraded soils and polluted water/air. While chemical farming boosted short-term yields, organic farming maintains soil health and is more sustainable. Organic farming avoids chemicals and uses organic manures/compost to nourish soils and crops. Both methods have benefits and drawbacks, so policy support is needed for organic techniques to increase production in an environmentally friendly way.
Organic_Agriculture_in_India.pdf
This document provides an overview of organic farming in India and around the world.

India has the second highest number of organic producers at 340,000 farmers. The document introduces the various chapters that will further explain organic farming methods and certification standards.
Climate smart agriculture 2
Agriculture in developing countries must undergo a significant transformation in order to meet the related challenges of achieving food security and responding to climate change. Projections based on population growth and food consumption patterns indicate that agricultural production will need to increase by at least 70 percent to meet demands by 2050. Most estimates also indicate that climate change is likely to reduce agricultural productivity, production stability and incomes in some areas that already have high levels of food insecurity. Developing climate-smart agriculture is thus crucial to achieving future food security and climate change goals. This seminar describe an approach to deal with the above issue viz. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and also examines some of the key technical, institutional, policy and financial responses required to achieve this transformation. Building on cases from the field, the seminar try to outlines a range of practices, approaches and tools aimed at increase the resilience and productivity of agricultural product systems, while also reducing and removing emissions. A part of the seminar elaborates institutional and policy options available to promote the transition to climate-smart agriculture at the smallholder level. Finally, the paper considers current gaps and makes innovative suggestion regarding the combined use of different sources, financing mechanism and delivery systems.
Technology innovations to increase
1) Agricultural production needs to increase by 70% globally and 100% in developing countries by 2050 to feed the growing population. Yields of major cereals are declining globally at an average rate of 1% which is a concern.
2) India's population is projected to reach 1.5 billion by 2025, requiring a significant increase in food production. However, Indian agriculture is still technology-deficit compared to global standards, with yields far below international averages.
3) Innovative technologies need to be adopted such as drought and flood-resistant crops, more efficient irrigation systems, and remote sensing to improve yields and make agriculture more sustainable and resilient to climate change.

Everything else can wait but not agriculture • India’s Independence was won in the backdrop of the great Bengal famine of 1942-43. • No wonder, our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru said early in 1948, everything else can wait but not agriculture. • Since the beginning of the first Five Year Plan in 1950, the country has transformed itself from a ‘begging bowl’ image to one which occupies the first or second position in terms of production and area in several major crops. • India accounts for only about 2.4 % of the world’s geographical area and 4 % of its water resources, but has to support about 17 % of the world’s human population and 15 % of the livestock. • Agriculture is an important sector of the Indian economy, accounting for 14% of the nation’s GDP, about 11% of its exports.
- 3. • Gross Domestic Product, agriculture and allied sectors grew at 3.6 per cent during 2011- 12, (released on 31st January 2013) recording an average rate of growth of 3.6 per cent per year during the 11th Plan (2007-12). • Further, as per the advance estimates released by CSO on 7th February, 2013, agriculture and allied sectors are estimated to grow at 1.8 per cent during 2012-13 as against 3.6 per cent during the last year. FOOD LOSS : By a recent estimate the total preventable post-harvest losses of food grains at 10 % of the total production or about 20 Mt, which is equivalent to the total food grains produced in Australia annually. In a country where 20% of the population is undernourished, post- harvest losses of 20 Mt annually is a substantial avoidable waste. The rates of growth of the economy and the agriculture and allied sectors since 2007-08 India’s arable land are moving to real estate plots

SRI Technique • SRI ( System of Rice Intensification) is a cultivation practice for Rice that is taken up in a different and more biologically enriched environment for growth. • Yields are increased by 50 – 100% or more, with a reduction in plant populations (by 80 – 90%), less water (by 25-50%), without using new 'improved' varieties (all varieties respond to the methods) or using chemical fertilizers (just adding compost to the soil), with usually lowered costs of production, and thus considerably increased net economic returns per hectare. KEY FEATURES OF SRI • Transplant young seedlings • Reduce plant population • Maintain aerated soil conditions • Provide as much organic matter as possible to the soil • Actively aerate the soil • Re-emphasize biology • Rediscover the potentials of synergy and symbiosis
