HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Lakshmi Narayana, N. Mentor, Geo Rehabilitation Centre,
ABSTRACT
Food is the
essential need of the people and well linked up with poverty, growth and
development. Farmers do play a role in making the agriculture as a healthy and
attractive sector as majority of the people as well the Nation depends on it.
The mission of poverty eradication works to provide Roti, Kapada and Makhan to
all with better sustainability and quality. Food security has to be seen as two
faces of the same coin having on one side with production and products of food
grains and second side with its distribution. Farmers do play a key role in all
these processes and are well known and recognized as Ryte Raju. Due to several
unhealthy and unethical causes and consequences, agriculture has got low
priority and thus farmers are facing several challenges with vulnerabilities
from inputs support to marketing and thus results for low returns. Water and
Power are the added disadvantages to put the farmers with poor production and
productivity and further resulted for migration. At the same time, all such
challenges have opened gates in the form of opportunities to make agriculture
as healthy and attractive sector with better returns. The efficiency of
technologies is the strength in the hands of farmers to develop profitable
livelihoods with innovation and creativity. The suggested measures are simple,
replicable, scalable and sustainable.
Keywords: Water, Power, Agriculture,
Production, Productivity, Management, Marketing, Sustainability.
