A rising concern
Systematic changes are required to make agriculture a sustainable and stick-to-employment sector. Indian agriculture is still rainfed which has increased the chances of becoming vulnerable to climate changes. Small and marginal farmers should be encouraged to use new farming techniques like rainwater harvesting, watershed management, micro-irrigation by providing them financial support to create and maintain such agricultural infrastructure. Adequate crop insurance will motivate them to carryout their agricultural practices without huge concerns. Farmers should be educated about new techniques and schemes through KVKs, interaction with scientists and various mediums of communication. Thus, an integrated farm management approach should be undertaken to support the marginal and small farmers who require more support to sustain their livelihood and prevent them from taking their lives.
