abstract: The challenge of producing more food would be much greater in the coming decades
as the much-needed growth rates of food production is now supported by weak
land-resource base with several soil-related production constraints in lesser available.
cultivable land area. It is projected that by 2030 India will require a minimum of
304 million tons CMt) of foodgrains, 175 Mt of vegetables, 96 Mt of fruits, 170 Mt
of milk and 21 Mt of meat, eggs and fish. Climate change in terms of increased
number of droughts years, reduced number of rainy days, improper distributi~g
of rainfall, cyclones, hailstorms and other adverse events, besides several biotic
stresses are important challenges to achieve agricultural production and growth.
The need of the hour is to (i) refine the existing technologies to meet the needs
to contemporary agricultural systems, (ii) cope with the weather aberrations and
(iii) meet the demands of diversified food preferences of the Indian population.
Some of the technologies are discussed here after, which have the potential to
improve the soil health, protect natural resources such as land and water, safe-guard
environment, besides offering mechanisms to cope with the weather aberrations
and extreme events...
