Describe the impact of globalization on indian agriculture |
| Answer» The impact of\xa0globalization\xa0on Indian agriculture has been felt since colonial times.\xa0Raw\xa0cotton and spices were important export items from India. In 1917, Indian farmers revolted in Champaran against being forced to grow indigo in place of\xa0food grains, in order to supply dye to Britain\'s flourishing textile\xa0industry. Thus, globalisation has had its boons and banes for Indian agriculture.Post\xa0liberalization, Indian farmers face new challenges in the form of competition from\xa0highly\xa0subsidized\xa0agriculture of developed nations. This prompts\xa0the need for making Indian agriculture successful and profitable by improving the conditions of small and marginal farmers, countering the negative effects of Green Revolution, developing and promoting organic farming, and diversifying cropping pattern from cereals to high-value crops.\xa0 | |
