The stagnant to declining growth of the agriculture sector in Karnataka between 2000 and 2008 demanded a multipronged strategy to revive agriculture. Given the alarming situation, in 2009 the state initiated measures to address soil health through a state-wide, flagship program called Bhoochetana. The program was designed to get the state’s agriculture back on track by increasing crop productivity and strengthening agriculture-based livelihoods.
