Agriculture is the most significant source of income for the central and state governments. The government of the country has substantial revenue from rising land revenue. Also, the movement of agricultural goods helps generate revenue for the Indian railways, which helps the government in revenue generation. Activities that improve soil, plant, and animal health can improve resilience to climate change. Regenerative agriculture practices such as no-till cultivation, not burning stubbles, and planting cover crops, can ensure that plants and soil are in the best condition to tolerate drought and erratic rainfall. Agriculture contributes to a number larger of environmental issues that cause environmental degradation including: climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss, dead zones, genetic engineering, irrigation problems, pollutants, soil degradation, and waste.

Dear Rk Naresh;

The largest sector of employment in India and the engine behind its economy, agriculture accounts for over 18% of its GDP. Most of the population, particularly those living in rural regions, receives food and income from it. As a result, India's economic development and growth depend on the development of the agricultural sector.

The following are just a few ways that agriculture can help India's economy develop:

A rise in productivity: better technologies, irrigation systems, and seeds would increase productivity and increase crop yield, which would strengthen the economy.

Job creation: Agriculture employs a sizable workforce and has the potential to employ millions of people.

Export revenue: Agriculture has the potential to increase export revenue if India can maximize its agricultural potential by raising output and product quality.

Here are some strategies for lessening the effect of agriculture on the environment:

• promoting organic farming: The use of chemicals in agriculture has had a negative impact on the environment. Pollution of the soil and water could be decreased by promoting chemical-free organic farming.
• improving irrigation systems: Due to poor rainfall in several areas of the country, India is prone to drought situations. Water waste could be decreased by promoting more efficient irrigation techniques like drip irrigation and rainwater collection.
• reducing post-harvest losses: Almost 40% of India's product is wasted, which contributes to the release of greenhouse gases. In addition to addressing the issue of food insecurity, reducing post-harvest losses will also help cut greenhouse gas emissions.

In conclusion, agriculture is crucial to India's economic development and progress, but we also need to be very conscious of the environmental sustainability of our farming practices.

I agree with Mehmet Gokhan Ozdemir that Agriculture is the primary activity of the nation. Agriculture7 provides employment opportunity to the rural agricultural as well as non-agricultural labourers. It is the source of food and fodder. It also plays an important role in international business in import and export activities. Agriculture may also be a source of the capital needed for industrial development to the extent that it provides a surplus that may be converted into the funds needed to purchase industrial equipment or to build roads and provide public services. Agriculture may also be a source of the capital needed for industrial development to the extent that it provides a surplus that may be converted into the funds needed to purchase industrial equipment or to build roads and provide public services. Agriculture is, after all, considered as the backbone of the economy. It forms the basis for food and nutrition security and provides raw materials for industrialization. Agriculture globally exerts increasing pressure on the land and water resources of the earth, which often results in land degradation and eutrophication. Agriculture is also associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Activities that improve soil, plant, and animal health can improve resilience to climate change. Regenerative agriculture practices such as no-till cultivation, not burning stubbles, and planting cover crops, can ensure that plants and soil are in the best condition to tolerate drought and erratic rainfall. Pesticides, fertilizers and other toxic farm chemicals can poison fresh water, marine ecosystems, air and soil. They also can remain in the environment for generations. Many pesticides are suspected of disrupting the hormonal systems of people and wildlife. Fertilizer run-off impacts waterways and coral reefs.

شهد تاريخ الهند في مجال الزراعةتطورا كبيرا ففي الآونة الاخيرة اصبح الاقتصاد الزراعي الاول بالا منازع

فاجمالي انتاج الحبوب يقدر ب275 ملييون طن وبالتالي فالهند الاولى في انتاج القمح والارز في العالم

وثاني منتج للفواكه والخضروات

ويعود ذالك الي تحسين اساليب الادارة الزراعية المعتمدة على سياسات متقاطعة مع ماهو اجتماعي واقتصادي وبيئي

والتحول الزراعي في الهند مرتبط بما يسمى الثورات الثلاثة البيضاء والخضراء والزرقاء

Agriculture is the most significant source of income for the central and state governments. Nowadays Sri Lanka facing an economic crisis.

Have a look at the Introductory Chapter in my book:

I agree with Dr M.T.R. Shamini Attanayak that Agriculture is the most significant source of income for the central and state governments. The government of the country has substantial revenue from rising land revenue. Also, the movement of agricultural goods helps generate revenue for the Indian railways, which helps the government in revenue generation. Agricultural plays a role in the economics of development, for a continuous level of farm surplus is one of the wellsprings of technological and commercial growth. In general, one can say that when a large fraction of a country's population depends on agriculture for its livelihood, average incomes are low. Since agriculture happens be the largest industry in developing country like India, it can and must play an important role in pushing up the rate of capital formation. If it fails to do so, the whole process economic development will suffer a setback. Agriculture in India dates back to the neolothic. India ranks second worldwide in farm outputs. As per Indian economic survey 2018, agriculture employed more than 50% of the Indian work force and contributed 17–18% to country's GDP. Agriculture is the mainstay of Indian economy because about 60% of our population depends directly or indirectly on agriculture. (ii) It provides raw materials to the industries. (iii) India earns foreign exchange by exporting agricultural products. (iv) It contributes about 29% to the Gross Domestic Product. Agricultural livestock are responsible for a large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions, most notably methane. In addition, overgrazing is a major problem regarding environmental sustainability. In some places, stretches of forage land are consumed so extensively that grasses are unable to regenerate. By adopting sustainable practices, farmers will reduce their reliance on nonrenewable energy, reduce chemical use and save scarce resources. Keeping the land healthy and replenished can go a long way when considering the rising population and demand for food. The effects of climate change on agriculture can result in lower crop yields and nutritional quality due to drought, heat waves and flooding as well as increases in pests and plant diseases. Excessive heat or shortage of water can impede crop growth, reduce yields, and influence irrigation, soil quality, and the ecosystem on which agriculture depends. Various factors influence the food security risk including natural calamities and water scarcity. Improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy, increases in wind and solar power, biofuels from organic waste, setting a price on carbon, and protecting forests are all potent ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases trapping heat on the planet
