This blog will learn, what are the problems facing by the farmers? Why the farmers are lagging in new Technology?
As we know that Agriculture is the largest source of livelihoods in India. About 70% of rural households depend on agriculture for their livelihood with 82% of farmers being small and marginal farmers. Small and large farmers. Farmers having less than two hectares (five acres) of land are called small farmers and those having less than one hectare (2.5 acres) are called marginal farmers. India is global agriculture producer in the world. It is the world’s largest producer of pulses, jute, milk and leading producer of spices, fish, poultry, livestock and plantation crops. It has the World’s largest cattle herd (Buffaloes). India is the Second largest producer of tea, rice, wheat, sugarcane, groundnut, vegetables, fruit and cotton. In addition to this, few farmers also used to earn money by selling fish by their fishpond. There are different new technologies coming day by day across all over the world, but the farmers in India are still using the conventional method. This can be due to:-
Lack of knowledge
Lack of awareness
Lack of income
Most of the poor people are found in rural areas. Nowadays, People are migrating from rural areas to urban areas in search of getting occupation by leaving aside farming, through which they can earn enough money for their livelihood. It happens because productivity and income they get through farming is not enough for their livelihood. That’s why farmers commit suicide if their crops are destroyed due to any natural calamity. It is the only way of their income. But a question arises here, if all the farmers will migrate to urban areas, then who will farm? It will badly effect India’s economy.
Other factors which are affecting farmer’s income:-
● No instant medium to know about the danger
● Biodiversity Loss
● Commodity price
● Lack of proper irrigation system
● Lack of technology
● Lack of equipments
● Improper sprinkling
● Soil infertility
● Lack of safety norms
● Non diagnosis of plant health at initial stage
● Pesticide doesn’t reach to lower parts of the plants
So, there is need to mainly focus on the primary sector i.e. AGRICULTURE. Need to aware them about new technologies that can give smartness to the farming methods. So that they can invest in new technologies to increase productivity.
