What r the positive n negative effects of globalisation on the indian farming sector????
Answer:
From decades back to the 21st century, India has come a long way in the agriculture sector. The Indian Agricultural sector provides employment to about 65% of the labour force, accounts for 27% of GDP, contributes 21% of total exports, and raw materials to several industries. The Livestock sector contributes an estimated 8.4 % to the country GDP and 35.85 % of the agricultural output. India is the seventh largest producer of fish in the world and ranks second in the production of inland fish. Fish production has increased from 0.75 million tons in 1950-51 to 5.14 million tons in 1996-97, a cumulative growth rate of 4.2% per annum, which has been the fastest of any item in the food sector, except potatoes, eggs and poultry meat.
The future growth in agriculture must come from viz. -
1.new technologies which are not only "cost effective" but also "in conformity" with natural climatic regime of the country;
2.technologies relevant to rain-fed areas specifically;
3.continued genetic improvements for better seeds and yields;
4.data improvements for better research, better results, and sustainable planning;
5.bridging the gap between knowledge and practice; and 6.judicious land use resource surveys, efficient management practices and sustainable use of natural resources.
The Strategy to ensure food security is as follows:-
1.Doubling food production
2.Increase in employment & incomes
3.Supplementary/sustained employment and creation of rural infrastructure through Poverty Alleviation Programmes (PAP)
4.Distribution of food grains to the people Below Poverty Line (BPL)
