Dry land farming for National food security
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
India is known as a land of golden bird. It was so because of prosperity prevails in all sphere of life of its natives. India was self sufficient for ROTI; Kapara aur Makan. But with the passes of time scenario changed, today we are not able to feed our population. Most of the people blame it for population. Is blaming to population is correct? Is population a curse? In my opinion answer is no. Population is curse when available resources are not in proportion to population. India has abundant resources which can feed not only Indian population but it can feed half of the world population. There are several factors which lead to food insecurity like dry land, unscientific cultivation, poor government policies and its implementation regarding procurement, storage and distribution of food grain. Uncertain, ill-.distributed and limited annual rainfall; occurrence of extensive climatic hazards like drought, flood etc; undulating soil surface, prevalence of mono cropping, very low crop yield, poor economy of the farmers, poor health of farmer as well as farmers. This paper try to focus on issues related to characteristics of dry land, dry land zone in India, and recommendation for dry land area.
