Write a paragraph on-
agriculture sector- Inconsistence performance of Agriculture sector (including Animal Husbandry), on which rural Population depends, is due to its more dependence on monsoon. 9.28% annual Growth has been observed during first four years of XI plan period on 2004-05 base at constant prices. The enhanced rate of growth in agriculture sector is necessary to reduce rural distress and improve their living conditions of around 70% of state population which is engaged in agriculture & allied activities. The growth in the sector also serves development objectives of EMPLOYMENT generation, higher incomes, balanced regional development, sustained POVERTY alleviation and improved Quality Of Life. In addition, this serves as Catalyst of growth for Industrial and Service sector as large proportion of domestic demand for
industrial goods and services is generated by rural population because of its
number.
The reducing share of primary or agriculture (including animal husbandry) in
gross domestic product indicates positive sign provided dependence on
agriculture is reduced, rural population’s participation in non-agriculture
activities has increased, rural habitats being employed in private and public
services and employment in agriculture related industries such as food
processing etc in rural areas has increased. for increasing production of wheat only alternative is to increase area under the crop through more creation of more Irrigation facilities. So, greater central support is needed in the irrigation sector to increase food
grain production. Madhya Pradesh is major producer of oilseeds and pulses in the country which is only because of higher acreage under crops. In absence of any significant technological breakthrough in the major crops like pulses, oilseeds and minor Millets production can’t be increased. Thus more emphasis has to be put on
development of improved and high yielding varieties of these crops keeping in
view agro-climatic condition of the state. Increasing inequalities in urban rural area and between people dependent on agriculture and those dependent on Industry and services can be overcome only through creating non-farm employment opportunities in rural area, for which Skill development of rural youths has to be taken up in mission mode.
Employment Generation-
Madhya Pradesh has been able to implement effectively the employment
guarantee scheme namely Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
The twin objective of income and employment generation of the scheme in rural
areas are being met by creating assets which are helpful in rural development
through improving farm productivity etc. may result in reducing the number of
unemployed youth. Under self employment and Poverty Alleviation
programmes, it should be prudent to provide training to targeted beneficiaries
for development of their skills. Thus development of skills should be made an
integral component of these programmes to meet the demand of skill personnel
for various activities in rural areas.

What is agriculture?
Agriculture is the practice of cultivating Plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Pigs, sheep and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world.
What are the different types of agriculture?
There are many different types of agriculture, but some of the most common include:
- Subsistence agriculture: This type of agriculture is used to meet the basic needs of the farmer and their family. It is often practiced in developing countries where there is little access to markets or other sources of food.
- Commercial agriculture: This type of agriculture is used to produce crops or livestock for sale. It is often practiced in developed countries where there is a large market for agricultural products.
- Industrial agriculture: This type of agriculture is characterized by the use of large-scale machinery and technology. It is often used to produce crops or livestock on a large scale.
- Organic agriculture: This type of agriculture is based on the principles of sustainability and environmental protection. It does not use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms.
What are the benefits of agriculture?
Agriculture provides many benefits to society, including:
- Food: Agriculture is the primary source of food for humans and animals.
- Fiber: Agriculture provides fibers such as cotton, wool, and linen that are used to make clothing and other products.
- Fuel: Agriculture provides biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel that can be used to generate energy.
- Jobs: Agriculture employs millions of people around the world.
- Economic Development: Agriculture is a major driver of economic development in many countries.
- Conservation: Agriculture can be used to conserve Natural Resources such as water and soil.
What are the challenges of agriculture?
Agriculture faces many challenges, including:
- Climate change: Climate Change is causing changes in weather patterns that are making it difficult for farmers to grow crops.
- Pests and diseases: Pests and diseases can damage crops and livestock, causing economic losses.
- Water scarcity: Water scarcity is a major problem in many parts of the world, making it difficult for farmers to irrigate their crops.
- Soil degradation: Soil degradation is a major problem in many parts of the world, making it difficult for farmers to grow crops.
- Overpopulation: Overpopulation is putting a strain on the world’s food supply.
- Poverty: Poverty is a major problem in many parts of the world, making it difficult for farmers to afford the inputs they need to produce food.
What is the future of agriculture?
The future of agriculture is uncertain. The challenges facing agriculture are significant, but there are also opportunities for innovation and development. Some of the key trends that are likely to shape the future of agriculture include:
- Climate change: Climate change is already having a significant impact on agriculture, and this impact is likely to grow in the future. Farmers will need to adapt to changing weather patterns and find ways to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
- Technology: Technology is playing an increasingly important role in agriculture. New technologies such as precision agriculture and vertical farming are helping farmers to produce more food with less resources.
- Urbanization: The world’s population is becoming increasingly urbanized. This is leading to a growing demand for food that is produced close to cities. Urban agriculture is one way to meet this demand.
- Consumer demand: Consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental and social impacts of agriculture. This is leading to a growing demand for sustainable and ethical food. Farmers will need to meet this demand by adopting sustainable practices.
The future of agriculture is uncertain, but it is clear that the challenges facing agriculture are significant.
