Resource Conservation Technology for Sustainable Food Production
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Green revolution has changed the scenario of Indian agriculture from food scarcity towards food security. As per recent statistics our food gain production has reached to 252.67 MT (Directorate of Economics and Statistics, 2014-15), but the productivity of the major staple food crops viz., Rice and wheat remained low. Rice and wheat are major staple food crops of large masses which decide the picture of food sufficiency at national as well as at global level. But due to impact of green revolution and ill effects of global warming, the productivity of these two crops has declined at alarming rate especially in Indo-Gangetic plains. It is due to overexploitation of natural resources particularly water, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides leads to deterioration of physical condition of soil. These result into yield stagnation causing concern about the future potential for productivity and sustainability. Thus the major challenges before us to innovate appropriate technologies to produce more food from diminished land and water resources for the burgeoning population pressure and to improve as well as conserve natural resources wisely.
