Global agricultural sector is facing many problems related to intensive farming methods, which lead to severe depletion of soil fertility. Recently, agricultural producers are becoming more and more frequent they face a decrease in soil productivity, the concentration of harmful substances in it coming from fertilizers, plant protection products and other chemicals. Intensive farming methods lead to a strong depletion of the humus layer of the soil. Due to the constant growth of the Earth's population and rapid urbanization, fertile soils suitable for agriculture are becoming less and less.

The misconception that young people are not interested in agriculture is a common stereotype, but it's not entirely accurate. In reality, many young people are passionate about agriculture and are actively involved in various aspects of the industry. However, the lack of awareness, limited resources, and the perception that agriculture is a traditional or outdated profession may deter some young people from pursuing a career in this field. In the context of rice farming, mechanization has been a game-changer in increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs. Young farmers are attracted to the prospect of using modern technology to improve their productivity and profitability. In fact, many young rice farmers are adopting precision farming techniques, such as precision irrigation, precision fertilization, and mechanized harvesting, to improve crop yields and reduce environmental impact. In many parts of Africa , where rice is a staple food crop, young people are increasingly taking up rice farming as a viable career option.

Agriculture scenario will change only when we start looking at it as a commercial venture from the perspective of a farmer. ⬆️Even though the net gain per kg for tur is highest, the overall earning per hectare doesn't match that of wheat or paddy. ⤴️Urad is next best, but it again fails to match the overall income per hectare. With subsidized power and irrigation water in some states and assurance of purchase at an assured price, the peace of mind for wheat and paddy farmers is higher. The reason crop diversification strategy looks good on paper but hardly makes an impact. 🌾Work on solutions that can improve productivity of oilseeds and pulses. 🔀Replace pulses with rice in PDS with an assurance of buyback, the way it is done for paddy. 💰Offer prices for oilseeds and pulses that can overshadow per hectare income from that of wheat and paddy. These are easier said than done; yet a complete change of thought process to redefine agriculture is the need of the hour. Info credit: Madan Sabnavis, LiveMint Image credit: SHITI KANTH MISHRA

Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) is taking practical steps through Green Pakistan Initiative to develop Pakistan's agriculture sector on modern lines.                 In this connection, precision agriculture method is being introduced to improve crop yield through use of advanced technology, reduce labour time and ensure efficient management of fertilizers and irrigation processes.  The Green Pakistan Initiative aims to eliminate malnutrition, cut down food imports and increase exports.  

Agriculture in Kenya 🇰🇪 Kenya is the leading producer and exporter of agricultural products such as tea, coffee, flowers, fruits and vegetables. There is potential for value addition, agro-processing, irrigation, and mechanization in the sector. Not all that, agriculture is one of the major sectors in Kenya. This is mainly because the economy of Kenya is agri-based. In conclusion agriculture is an essential part of Kenya's economy. Improving agriculture, improves lives

#Talentserve#task20#blog1 Improving indian agriculture system: modernizing Irrigation and Drainage Departments to integrate the participation of farmers and other agencies in managing irrigation water. (ii) improving cost recovery. (iii) rationalizing public expenditures, with priority to completing schemes with the highest returns. (iv) Reforms to land distribution, water management and food distribution systems will further enhance productivity and help India meet its growing demand for food. Biotechnology and genetic engineering have resulted in pest resistance and increased crop yields. Mechanization has led to efficient tilling, harvesting, and a reduction in manual labor. Modernization of agriculture is a process of transforming agriculture from traditional labour-based agriculture to technology-based. How to Improve Farming Productivity: 1.Implementation of land reforms. For improving the production, land reforms are the first 2.predominant point. 3.Interplant. 4.Plant more densely. 5.Plant many crops. 6.Raised beds. 7.Smart water 8.management. 9.Heat Tolerant 10.Varieties. 11.Use nitrogen. The country needs more food by 2030, the cultivation of which requires more water, energy and land. Food has to be grown in a more hostile environment. The challenge is to produce the same or more quantity of food with lower emissions, by changing the practices and methods of production, as well as geographies. Some few measures that will help boost agricultural development in India: 1.Efficient markets. 2.Irrigation augmentation and management. 3.Agri-credit and crop insurance. 4.Adoption of new technologies. 5.Enhancement of soil quality.

Precision Agriculture The increase in global population has led to increased food production per capita. Furthermore with changing climate leading to water shortages and growing need for irrigation. Farmers are turning towards precision agriculture solutions as it can save them on inputs, time and money, while allowing to farm more profitable. But adoption of these type of solutions is key

Shri Kaushal Jaiswal President Irrigation Association of India and MD Rivulis India at the National Conclave on Viksit Bharat @ 2047 being organized by FICCI. Speaking on growing water scarcity he emphasized that a reduction in rainy days, a direct impact of climate change was negatively affecting Indian agriculture increasing water stresses and yields. In addition to assured irrigation, Farmers with access to water-efficient Micro-Irrigation technologies like drips and sprinklers ensure the effective application of water and nutrients to crops. This significantly increases yields while using considerably lesser amounts of water - securing their crops, incomes and livelihoods from the impacts of climate change. He recommended the Government of India to continue investing in water-efficient technologies like Micro-Irrigation to address future concerns of the agricultural sector #MicroIrrigation #MicroSprinklers #DemandforMI #BetterYields #Reducewateruse #WaterProductivity #PDMC #RKVY 

Here's why drip irrigation is a game-changer: Water efficiency: Saves up to 70% of water compared to traditional methods, a crucial factor in drought-prone regions. Increased yields: Precise water delivery leads to healthier crops and improved yields for farmers. Reduced costs: Saves on labor and water bills, leading to higher profits for farmers. Sustainable practices: Promotes responsible water use and environmental conservation. By working together – government, industry experts, and passionate individuals – we can revolutionize irrigation practices in India. Let's ensure a secure water future for our farmers and a thriving agricultural sector! #DripIrrigation #AssuredIrrigation #WaterManagement #SustainableAgriculture #IndianAgriculture
