Abstract

Food consumption and growing population remain the biggest problems in the developing countries like India. This could only be solved through an increase in agricultural output. While intensive agriculture practices based on the green revolution have contributed to a significant increase in yield and production, they have come at the expense of ecosystem deterioration. It advocates for a novel method that educates producers or small farm holders on how to use their conventional expertise to enhance greater yield production with fewer external inputs. This strategy is referred to as sustainable agriculture, and it is currently the most pressing issue facing the world. This study provides a brief background to the idea of current scenario of Indian agriculture, as well as a critical evaluation of the concept in terms of difficulties and possibilities for overall sustainability.

There seem to be a lot of programmes targeted at developing agriculture. Non-efficient transport methods cannot lead to an increase production, decreased cost, or higher price collection at the ground level. Furthermore, ineffective state govt. support exacerbates these issues. Thus, corporate agriculture may be a solution to the Indian agricultural sector, but it requires a deep thought and innovative legislation so that neither the corporations nor the producers or farmer suffer. Food supply depends on agricultural output. Agricultural development in India necessitates the development of highly creative concepts for the improvement of this area. Furthermore, farming is a physically
