Agriculture is the main source of income and employment in rural areas, especially in poorer countries where it is often the principal employer. Agricultural growth is key to reducing both rural and urban poverty. Agricultural policy instruments include government expenditures on infrastructure, price and trade controls, direct management of production and marketing, improving product and factor markets, developing adequate institutions, and establishing legislative frameworks. However, there is skepticism that current policies primarily benefit large corporations and prioritize high-yield technologies over small farmers and more sustainable approaches.
The document discusses India's agricultural price policy and related programs. It provides background on how the policy emerged in response to food scarcity issues. It then describes the objectives of price policy, the need for such a policy, its main features including the institutions involved like CACP and FCI. It also discusses factors considered in price setting, effects of the policy, and shortcomings like limited coverage and ineffective PDS. Suggestions are provided to improve the policy including expanding coverage and improving productivity.
This document defines agroforestry as a sustainable land use system that combines trees, crops, and livestock. It discusses several types of agroforestry including silvopasture, alley cropping, forest farming, riparian forest buffers, and windbreaks/shelterbelts. Silvopasture combines trees, forage, and livestock. Alley cropping grows crops between rows of trees. Forest farming cultivates high-value crops under forest canopy. Riparian buffers protect waterways. Windbreaks shelter crops, livestock, and roads from wind.
Agriculture is a major part of India's economy, contributing 25% to GDP. However, agricultural production has stagnated in recent years due to small landholdings, dependence on monsoons, lack of infrastructure and technology. The government has implemented various policies and programs to support the agricultural sector, including providing subsidies, developing new crop varieties, expanding irrigation and credit, and creating support systems like agriculture extension services and crop insurance. The Targeted Public Distribution System aims to ensure food security for poor families across India.
The Green Revolution in India refers to the period in the 1960s-70s when agricultural productivity increased dramatically due to the adoption of new technologies and high-yielding varieties of seeds, brought about through initiatives like those of M.S. Swaminathan. This helped increase food grain production, especially in states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. However, long term problems arose due to overuse of chemicals, loss of biodiversity, rising costs for farmers, and increased regional disparities between areas that could benefit and those that could not.
Ancient agriculture in India began as early as 9000 BCE with the cultivation of crops and domestication of animals in northwest India. Settled life followed, along with the development of agricultural implements and techniques. By 8000-4000 BCE, agro-pastoralism was common and included practices like threshing crops, planting in rows, and storing grain. Major innovations in irrigation occurred in the Indus Valley Civilization by 4500 BCE, allowing cities to grow and prosper. Vedic texts from 3000-2500 BCE describe iron tools, cultivation of various crops and fruits, animal husbandry, and the use of manure and irrigation.
Impact of Green Revolution on Indian AgricultureSamreen Fatima
The document discusses the Green Revolution in India that occurred in the late 1960s. It introduced high-yielding varieties of seeds, increased usage of fertilizers and irrigation, which led to a significant increase in food grain production. However, the Green Revolution also had negative environmental and social impacts. There is now a need for a second Green Revolution that focuses on sustainable agricultural practices to continue feeding India's growing population.
The document discusses the importance of agriculture in the Indian economy. It notes that agriculture accounts for around 17-18% of India's GDP and 50% of employment. It plays a key role by providing food, raw materials to industry, employment, and market for other goods. The agricultural sector is therefore critical to India's growth, development, and food security.

Madhya Pradesh has a primarily agricultural economy, with around 73% of the population relying on agriculture. Major crops include rice, wheat, soybean, sugarcane, and cotton. The state produces large amounts of pulses, soybean, wheat, sugarcane, and rice nationally. Horticulture is also significant, with production of vegetables, fruits, and spices. The government is working to boost food processing industries and agriculture exports. Initiatives include export zones for certain crops and contract farming partnerships between corporations and farmers. Madhya Pradesh achieved the highest agricultural growth in the country in 2013 at 13.33%.
The document discusses agricultural labor in India. It notes that around 58% of India's population depends on agriculture and that the number of cultivators has declined from 50% in 1951 to 24% in 2011. It outlines the classification, characteristics, laws, and welfare measures regarding agricultural laborers. Some key challenges faced by agricultural laborers are excess supply, seasonal employment, small land holdings, limited other occupations, indebtedness, and regional variations in issues. Solutions proposed include cooperatives, irrigation development, improved marketing/distribution, and agricultural insurance.
Rural indebtedness among Indian farmers has been steadily increasing since 1971 due to various factors. Farmers take loans for both productive and unproductive purposes from money lenders who charge high interest rates, trapping farmers in endless cycles of debt. Common causes of rural indebtedness include ancestral debts, poverty, natural calamities damaging crops, extravagant spending, exploitation by money lenders, small land holdings, expensive legal disputes, desires to increase land holdings, and spending on luxuries. The average debt per rural household rose from Rs. 500 in 1971 to Rs. 7,539 in 2002 according to government data.
The document discusses the Green Revolution, which was a period in the 20th century when agricultural productivity dramatically increased through new technologies like chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It began in the 1940s and was spearheaded by Norman Borlaug. In India, the Green Revolution was applied from 1967-1978, focusing on wheat and rice production led by Dr. MS Swaminathan. The Green Revolution led to increased crop yields but also caused issues like soil pollution, water pollution, and health problems from overuse of chemicals. While it prevented famines, more sustainable practices are now needed.
The Green Revolution significantly increased agricultural productivity in India through the introduction of high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, increased fertilizer and pesticide use, and improved irrigation techniques. Led by Indian agronomist M.S. Swaminathan and supported by Mexican scientist Norman Borlaug, the Green Revolution transformed India from a food-deficient nation in the 1960s to a major food exporter by the late 1970s through high crop yields that established India as one of the world's largest agricultural producers. However, overuse of chemicals polluted water sources and soils over time. Future agricultural plans need better management of irrigation and controls on pesticide and fertilizer use to minimize environmental impacts.
Nature, scope and significance of Agricultural Production EconomicsRAVI SAHU
Agricultural production economics is concerned with the productivity and efficient use of farm resources like land, labor, capital and management. It deals with factor-product, factor-factor and product-product relationships. The scope of agricultural production economics includes the economics of agricultural production, problems in the agricultural sector and remedies, agricultural credit, marketing, demand and supply of farm goods, agricultural policies and programs, and taxes on farm productivity. Agricultural production economics is significant as it applies economic theories to address agricultural issues and provides insights into the relationships between crop and animal production systems.
Second green revolution for sustainable agriculture development Devegowda S R
The document discusses the need for a second green revolution in India to promote sustainable agriculture. It notes that while the first green revolution greatly increased food production, it had several shortcomings like benefiting large farmers more than small farmers. Current issues affecting Indian agriculture include overdependence on monsoons, declining investment, and growing rural poverty. The document argues that the second green revolution should focus on expanding irrigation, increasing coverage of crops beyond rice and wheat, ensuring adequate inputs and credit, improving rural infrastructure and human resources, and boosting agricultural marketing. This will help address issues of sustainability and make agriculture less vulnerable to climate impacts.
The development of agriculture around 10,000 years ago, known as the Neolithic Revolution, significantly changed how humans lived. People began domesticating plants and animals, developing new tools for farming, and settling into permanent villages. This led to more complex societies with specialized roles, increased trade, and the growth of towns. The reliable food supply supported larger populations and allowed people to pursue activities other than hunting and gathering.
The document discusses the role of agro-based industries in the Indian economy. It provides an overview of the key agro-based industry sectors in India including food processing, textiles, tobacco, leather, and paper. It notes that agro-based industries play an important role by adding value to agricultural outputs, generating employment, and strengthening industrial and agricultural linkages. The top agro-based industry sectors are food processing, which contributes around 14% to manufacturing GDP, and textiles, which employs around 40 million workers and exported $41.4 billion in 2014-15.
This document discusses the need for and sources of credit in Indian agriculture. It notes that agricultural credit is a crucial input, and that the major historical source was private moneylenders who charged high interest rates. To address this, a multi-agency approach using cooperatives, commercial banks, and regional rural banks now provides cheaper and more adequate credit to farmers. It then outlines the various financial needs of Indian farmers and the roles of credit. Finally, it details the major institutional sources of agricultural credit in India, including cooperatives, commercial banks, land development banks, regional rural banks, government loan schemes, and NABARD.
This document discusses key concepts in agricultural production economics including:
1. It defines input-output relationships and different types of production functions including continuous, discrete, very short run, short run, and long run production functions.
2. It categorizes agricultural resources as fixed, variable, stock, and flow and explains how the distinction between stock and flow resources can be confusing depending on the time period considered.
3. It outlines the three basic types of relationships in production as factor-factor, product-product, and factor-product and describes how production functions model the input-output relationship.
4. It describes the different returns to scale that can exist in production including constant, increasing, and diminishing
This document discusses India's agriculture pricing policy. It outlines the objectives of the policy which include raising farmer productivity and incomes. The key elements are fixing prices for agricultural products, inputs, and balancing consumer and farmer interests. Instruments used include minimum support prices, market intervention schemes, and the public distribution system to ensure stable supplies and prices. The policy aims to incentivize production through stable incomes while protecting consumers.
The document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) in agriculture in India. It defines PPPs as contractual agreements between public and private entities to deliver a service, where both parties share risks and rewards. Common PPP models in India include Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) models for infrastructure projects. PPPs in agriculture are needed due to India's growing population and food demands, slow agricultural growth rate, and need for private sector investment in seeds, mechanization, and irrigation to boost the sector.
#Government Schemes & Programs in Agriculture# By SN PanigrahiSN Panigrahi, PMP
The document discusses several schemes and initiatives by the Government of India to support farmers and the agriculture sector. The key schemes mentioned include:

The village has a population of 1,298 people living in 327 households across three hamlets. The economy is primarily agricultural, with many families living in poverty. Key challenges include lack of healthcare, education, sanitation, and livelihood opportunities. Overall, the document paints a picture of a rural village with close-knit social structures but also facing various economic and development difficulties.
The document discusses the status of tribal communities in West Bengal. It notes that tribes traditionally had subsistence-based economies and tight-knit social structures. British colonial policies displaced tribes from fertile lands and pushed them into hilly areas. After independence, tribes faced loss of land and displacement due to development projects. Tribal communities have high poverty, low literacy and health outcomes. The document calls for positive integration of tribes while preserving culture, and prioritizing education, health, and livelihood support.

Strengthening Agriculture in Tribal and Hill AreasRamanjaneyulu GV
The document discusses how tribal communities in India have historically relied on forests for food, fodder, and other resources through customary rights. However, British and post-Independence forest policies centralized control over forests, depriving tribes of their livelihoods and undermining their relationship with forests. This has weakened food security in tribal areas through land alienation, deforestation, and loss of access to natural resources. The document proposes strengthening food security for tribes through sustainable forest management practices, boosting local agriculture, and providing social safety nets.
An Empirical Study of Shifting Cultivation in Kombo Jinyo Village under West ...ijtsrd
Jhum cultivation or shifting swidden cultivation is prevalent since ancient time. It plays an important role for providing livelihood and food security to many people in hilly areas where the other opportunity of cultivation is not feasible. For Jhumias Jhum cultivators the importance of shifting cultivation goes beyond mere economic concerns. Jhum crops are adjusted to local condition and chemical for pests diseases control is not required. Traditionally, Jhumias specially belong to hilly region are totally dependent on Jhum cultivation because Jhum fields are source for many food and non-food crops which helps farmer to maintain their livelihood. Earlier Jhum was only for subsistence purpose, even in present era the output from Jhum is extremely limited and various programmes and policies implemented by Government is unsatisfactory, but Jhumias are sustaining its livelihood by changing its cropping pattern and land use management. Shifting cultivation is connected to local and regional commodity where cultivator are increasingly integrated to cash crops that are traded locally, regionally which provide resources to themselves and to the society. In the current era deforestation is a challenging one and Jhum cultivation is prevalent in study area. But we cannot incriminate such practice as a sole responsible for deforestation.

Although mining induced displacement is rampant in Odisha now, at the same time Conservation induced displacement has been taking its toll in the Protected areas. The issue is not much highlighted as that of the industrial displacement. The presentation has tried to highlight case study of post displacement situation (R & R colony).
Policy: Land Ownership as a Social Determinant of Health and Well-being in R...IFSD14
This document summarizes a study on the relationship between land ownership and health/well-being in rural India. The study explored how land ownership impacts income/food security and access to social policies. It found that lack of land ownership was linked to greater marginalization. Landless households had less access to agriculture subsidies, loans, and some welfare schemes. Overall, land ownership enabled better food security and access to employment/development programs, while landlessness contributed to poorer living standards and social exclusion in rural communities.

This document summarizes a study exploring how land ownership impacts health, well-being, and policy access for rural citizens in India. The study analyzed data from over 1,500 rural households in three states and found that those without land experienced greater marginalization. Land ownership was associated with improved food security, income opportunities, access to agricultural subsidies and loans. It also enabled benefits from employment guarantee programs and housing policies. The findings suggest land reforms could help reduce inequalities faced by landless groups.

This good practice note based on the experiences of BAIF Development Research Foundation (BAIF), shows the importance of restoring common property resources by involving the communities directly, as a way forward for impacting positively on their quality of life.
This good practice shows how “Protection of Commons” has led to not only increasing the output of grasses and thereby promoting livestock development, but the renewal of hydrology has led to significant increases in acreage as well as production of various crops. This has resulted in enhancement of food security amongst the small farmers.

This document summarizes 12 sources that examine the relationship between agricultural commercialization, food security, and nutrition in the uplands of Laos. It identifies 24 key findings from the literature around how commercialization is transforming livelihoods and impacting different groups. The findings note that commercialization benefits some households but harms the most vulnerable with little land; access to land and forest foods is declining; and food security increasingly depends on wage labor, global markets, and ability to cope with risks like debt.
A Study on the Socio Economic Impact of Deforestation upon the Tribal Village...ijtsrd
Diverse resource of the earth increasing population, pressure on resources and man's differing cultures or ways of life are the major inter related factors which involve in the interaction pattern of man with his planet. In the course of technological development by increasing his range of action, man has intervened more and more with the rest of the organic world. The increasing population and its wants have imposed severe constraints on the natural resources. Constant pressure connected with the increasing requirements for food, fiber and fuel for human, fodder for cattle population and raw materials for industries have led to an increasing rate of destruction of the forest since the turn of the century.

The document discusses India's tribal belts and the challenges faced by the Van Gujjar tribe. It notes that tribal belts exist in Northwest, Central, and Eastern India, inhabited by tribes that remained genetically isolated. It outlines the Van Gujjar tribe's traditional nomadic livelihood of buffalo herding and milk trade. However, the Van Gujjars face numerous issues that threaten their livelihoods, including limited legal access to forests restricted by outdated permits, dangerous nomadic routes, exploitation by middlemen, lack of citizenship rights, and lack of education. Overall, the document examines the socio-political challenges that have made it difficult for the Van Gujjar tribe to sustain their traditional livelihoods.
Presentation GAPE Darren Shifting cultivation 29 March 2012LIWG-Laos
This document discusses shifting agriculture and livelihoods of upland communities in Laos. It describes two forms of shifting cultivation - rotational and pioneering - and provides details on the swidden calendar and inputs/outputs of swidden versus paddy land. While shifting cultivation can cause temporary deforestation, it also allows for forest regrowth. There is debate around its environmental impacts and whether it condemns rural people to poverty or provides a form of diversified agroforestry.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

2. Objectives
To understand the traditional pattern of livelihood of tribal communities
in the village
To find out the changing pattern of livelihoods and their coping
mechanism
3. LOCATION
Located under Odiapentha gram panchayat in Laxmipur block of
Koraput district.
54 kms from Koraput and 373 kms from Bhubaneshwar.
Koraput district in Odisha Laxmipur block in Koraput district
6. Traditional Pattern of Livelihood
People totally dependent on forests for their livelihood
Traditional livelihood system was based on shifting cultivation and collection of
edible forest produce
Shifting cultivation was widely practiced. It was done collectively by the villagers.
Hunting was also prevalent.
When shifting cultivation began to decline, tribals took to settled agriculture mainly
on the uplands
In social terms, the traditional livelihood system was based on customary rights of
tribal communities over land and forests. People did not have any sort of legal
documents for their land. They considered the entire village to be their land.
Changes came about during the 1970’s. The incident that marked the transition was when the
Biriguda colony was established in 1976 from the Biriguda village. 45 villagers of the village got
houses under the Integrated Tribal Housing Development scheme, along with 2 acres of land.
Shifting cultivation was still practiced though , but it gradually decreased in the coming decades
with people moving to settled agriculture. It finally came to an end in the year 2005.
7. Reasons for decrease in shifting cultivation:
•Growth of population
•Restricted government policies
•Deforestation & land degradation
•Availability of viable livelihood alternatives

12. Reflections
Widespread poverty in terms of food , income as well as a deprivation of facilities.
Alcoholism eating into significant portion of income, reducing overall consumption
of HH & impacting health
Encroachment of forest land
Education not given adequate importance
NTFP and tribal tourism can be good alternative sources of livelihood
Government presence has been minimal in terms of providing employment
opportunities
