India has progressed itself from under developed nation to a developing nation. Though its primary
population is still involved in agriculture as a primary occupation, our nation has optimized enough to be
a developing nation.
In the last quarter of 2013, India’s GDP was 4.7% which was a result of growth in tertiary and
manufacturing sectors but the agriculture sector which is India’s prime occupation was missing its hand
in the total GDP growth last year and has been from many years. Agriculture in India was of major
concern when India tasted freedom for the first time. After 10 years more of the efforts and policies
were directed for development in other sectors. The machines came in late after the reforms of 1991.
The machinery made the work easier and the skilled labour drive was established and the investors
compelled manufacturers to recruit skilled people on the deck. Thus, unemployment was a huge turmoil
face by the nation as skilled labour was scarce.
World Bank states certain problems faced by developing countries having farm lands:
• India's large agricultural subsidies are hampering productivity-enhancing investment.
• Overregulation of agriculture has increased costs, price risks and uncertainty.
• Government interventions in labour, land, and credit markets.
• Inadequate infrastructure and services.
These were the difficulties face by agriculture as an occupation in India.

buy good quality seeds and machinery to support their produce. Though India lacks good technology, is

All above mentioned techniques are very much focused on the quality of the produce and also
the fineness of the produce; here the main thing of concern is the budget which is a cumulative of
government and farmer growing crops. There are advisors provided by government how to have crop
rotations how many times in a year one has to examine a detailed check on soil’s productivity etc. All
these parameters help for best quality produced.
India is also growing, it won’t be left behind for sure, but we need to change our perspective and effort
more on quality output. Farmers are very less educated and our government also has taken steps to
better faming and address the quarries of farming by toll free 24*7 number to call on.
The Economy is really bad in parts of India, people are usually not using technology, the way they cook is unsanitary, and houses are not modern. Indian farmers used to use seeds that required only cow poop for fertilizer. The Jai BT seeds that Monsanto created requires two different fertilizers, Jai BT seeds are more expensive than the old seeds, so farmers have to pay extra for the fertilizer and seeds. The Jai BT seeds did not germinate in the soil and rotted, causing the farmer much stress. The farmers pay a high amount of money for the land. If their farm does not grow, the farmer doesn't get any money and will eventuall...

Few concerns have surfaced in economy that plays a vital role in agriculture and therefore in economic development. Developing countries and more even, LDC’s, are dependent on agriculture for income for the population. But achieving good agriculture means that many things have to change within these countries self. Good transportation is need in these countries and more often than not the infrastructure doesn’t allow this to happen and transporting agricultural goods are more expensive for these countries, thus these countries need capital and investments to further their outputs and inputs to gain bet...

As these nations continue to grow at rates that are too fast for resources to remain sustainable, the government’s in these areas wi...
India is well known as a nation of contrasts, and the nation itself is a paradox. It is one of the world’s oldest known civilizations, yet it has only existed as the nation the world now know sit for 67 years. Similarly, it has produced some of the most important contributions to mathematics, science, philosophy, and trade, yet it is still considered to be a developing nation. The country’s history is a long, winding journey that has led it to its current state – the world’s largest democracy featuring both the same technological advancements enjoyed by the first world and the same challenges and problems faced by the rest of the developing world.

Farmers in many developing countries are operating in an environment of inadequate infrastructure like roads, electricity, and communications; poor soils; lack of storage and processing capacity; and little or no access to agricultural technologies that could increase their profits and improve their livelihoods. Recent unrest over food prices in a number of countries may tempt policymakers to put the interests of urban consumers over those of rural people, including farmers, but this approach would be shortsighted and counterproductive. Given the scale of investment needed, aid donors should also expand development assistance to agriculture, rural services, and science and technology.
Agriculture has changed dramatically, especially since the end of World War II. Food and fibre productivity rose due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization and government policies that favoured maximizing production. These changes allowed fewer farmers with reduced labour demands to produce the majority of the food and fibre.
...as greatly advanced in the past 200 years thanks to mechanical tools replacing manual labor. It is the most important industry and will forever remain the base of our economy. Humans have constantly been trying to make it easier and quicker to produce crops, from wooden ploughs to pesticides. Agriculture is easily one of the most important and obvious signs of humanity and its adaptation and evolvement over thousands of years.
To understand why is agriculture important in the world of today, then first of all we must know what agriculture is? Agriculture is the basic material production of society, the use of land for agriculture and livestock, mining plants and animals as raw materials and labor to produce mainly food and some raw materials for industry. Agriculture is a major industry, covering many disciplines: planting, breeding and processing of agricultural products; in the broadest sense, also including forestry and fisheries. Agriculture is an important economic sector in the economy of many countries, especially in the past century , when the industry has not yet developed. Since the dawn of history, agriculture has been one of the importance means of producing
Increased economic development/production negatively affects a country's environmental and agricultural health. Agriculture holds a significant role in underdeveloped countries. It is often the backbone of their economic and social well-being. It acts as the main source of employment and income, 70% of a country's population rely on framing as a mean of living (CITE HERE). Because most underdeveloped countries have low rates of educational attainment, farming is a popular source of employment.
