Indian agriculture started a decline in the trend of food production because: (i) More and more land is used for construction of factories, warehouses and shelters have reduced the land under cultivation. (ii) Soil gets degraded by the use of pesticides, fertilizers, over-irrigation, etc., which leads to water logging and salinity. Remedial Measures: (i) Use of agricultural techniques, which are environmentally sustainable. (ii) Use of biotechnology in modifying different crops and increase the yield per hectare. It reduces dependence on insecticides and also requires less water.
