Agriculture: The Potential Vehicle for Next Economic Revolution

Abstract

In spite of many achievements of India in different fields, our farmers are still suffering from starvation. The next generation of the farming community is no way going to remain in the sector if we do not make the agricultural sector economically more lucrative. The paper discusses about the major impediments like small agricultural land holding, high investment on land, lack of transport and storage facilities, lack of well-established market for agricultural products, unholy intervention of the middlemen etc. which make it difficult to turn the sector into a profitable enterprise. The paper also talks about the possible way outs like rectifications in the laws regarding Farmer producer Organisations, welcoming the private sector in the field of agricultural finance, following organic soil revival procedures and wastewater management.
