Agriculture
Overview
The agriculture sector in India serves as a vital contributor to the economy, employing a significant portion of the workforce and making a substantial contribution to the GDP. It encompasses diverse crops, ranging from grains to fruits, vegetables, and lucrative cash crops such as cotton and sugarcane. Despite efforts to modernize through technology and government initiatives, the industry grapples with challenges like fragmented land holdings, water scarcity, and unpredictable weather patterns. Issues like farmer debt and market fluctuations also impact rural livelihoods. Measures such as agricultural subsidies, crop insurance, and infrastructure development are being implemented to tackle these challenges. Emphasis on sustainable farming practices and the adoption of technology, including precision agriculture and mechanization, are increasingly crucial for enhancing productivity and ensuring food security across India.
