Agriculture

Agriculture is our country back boon also we are doing very careless because of we are not interest in agriculture but we don’t know agriculture is one of the best job for us, specially young stars all are migrating from rural to city for job purpose but there is lot of opportunity .

From last three days I learnt lot of things about agriculture generally I did not know about these things

Ø largest rice food producing in the world,

Ø Largest milk producer and World leader in dairy animal products

Ø 2nd largest producer of vegetables

Ø 5th in area and production of potatoes

Ø 2nd largest onion growing country

Ø Produces 41% of world’s mangoes, 23% bananas, 24% cashew nuts, 36% green peas and 10% onion

We have a lot of land and human power although we are not sustain in agriculture.

In our state Total geographical area is -190.50 lakh hectares in this land Cultivable land is - 123 lakh hectares but now Cultivating area is - 116.70 lakh hectares and irrigation land is 31 lakh hectares (26.5%) . In Karnataka total having 73% small and marginal formers now there are cultivating land is 34.5% hectors.

Now we are using more technology and highbred seeds because of more yield but when we using more chemical compost than our land is loosing fertility. And how we can do the livelihood activity in this area , what are the crops we can grow learnt these things.

Climate is very important in this agriculture because some crops are growing from climate like Jawar, cotton so climate how changing what are the reasons and why its happening these all things I learnt from this session.

I learnt about low expensive input sustainable agriculture (LIESA) it was very effective to me because of today formers are using more fertilizers for more yield after using what will happen they don’t know but LEISA is very needful and helpful to formers. After learnt Agriculture before Green Revolution how was and Conventional Agriculture, Surplus farming, Market farming, Commercial farming and
