Sunita Narain on status of Indian Agriculture today ....
1. we need to invest big time in weather sciences/ 25-30 per cent reduction was done in last yr annual budget...
2. prices are artificially "fixed"; and when shortages grow, government rushes to buy from heavily subsidised global farms. This cannot go on...
3....everything from cities and roads to ports and dams - must be built in a way that they are compliant with best environmental safeguards.
4.....our so-called crop insurance schemes are poorly designed and even more poorly executed. Once again, this cannot go on.
