Will India

I know that India is ranked 4th in the world in terms of countries with percentage of arable land (around 55% I think) but still 1 billion+ is a lot of mouths to feed. Should this be a cause for concern?





Thanks for your time in advance.



In order to boost agricultural output from current 210 million tons to about 300 million tons, technology has to play a greater role. Hopefully immediate needs of the rising population will be met with the combination of technology and efficient management of water resources we already have. Next quantum leap in agriculture cannot be achieved without bringing additional areas under cultivation. There is no more agricultural farmland left to cultivate except in the arid west, southwest and in peninsular India. Both will require transport of surplus water from north to south or southwest. The former is proving to be difficult to achieve. But the latter is achievable. It will take about 15 years to implement this scheme and 5 years to plan. By 2025, India can add additional 50 to 60 million of food grains to a total of about 350 to 360 million tons a year. Hopefully by then the West would have eliminated its agricultural subsidies. At that time India could enter export market in a big way.




India is still trying to feed their population mostly from small family farms, If this does not change and they do not convert to large scale farms with their large scale production, they will , I believe run out of food sometime in the future. Organic and Green are nice concepts but will not feed a population of one billion. Yes it should be a large concern for all of us. Consider what would happen if the farmers in the USA could get four or five times as much for a bushel of corn or wheat compared to what they get now. The US could run out of corn and wheat for our use, it could all be going to India. Corn feeds the beef and wheat makes the bread, etc, If you think that $4.00 for a gallon of gasoline was a lot, try $20. for a loaf of bread and hamburger going for $50 per pound.




Millions and billions predictions are one side: no rain, shortage of electricity, shortage in farm labour, usage of farm-land into house-sites and factories and etc will bring down the productions: No politician is cared about this: For example drinking water is sold for Rs 10 per litre: Is is possible to buy a nutrient rice, grain by a below average family with their Cooley: One side starvation %26amp; death will prevail: honest farmers are troubling and dyeing: The borrowed corporates are enjoying luxury Life: a crop loan farmer borrower is targeted with lawyer notice :




The apocalypse will cause a drastic reduction in fertility worldwide . We should expect less food for less people.By the end of the century the world will be underpopulated. Lets hope that humans in the future stop breeding like rats
