Agriculture Module

We had Agriculture module by Mr.Ravindra and misss.Sangeeth in our fellowship program. I learn new things in that module. It was relay interesting to know about agriculture  it was helped me to understand small and very important  things get know and different  types of cultivating methods. Agriculture  refers to the production of foods and goods produced through farming and forestry.  Agriculture plays an important role in the taken as a whole socio- economic development of rural India. India is the largest producer in the world of cashew nuts, coconut, tea, ginger, turmeric and black pepper. India is second largest producer of wheat, rice, sugar, and groundnut. India is also ranked first in banana production in the world. India has largest cattle population in the world, hence also first rank in milk production. and world leader in dairy animal production Amul is the Indian milk suppliers in the world. Indian farmer using the natural manure many years, because it’s need for the field.

Sustainable farming requires an enhanced capacity of farmers to adapt in the face of unexpected changes and emerging uncertainties, rather than mere continuation of a practice forever . Helping farmers to enhance their abilities to understand and analyze their situations enabling good decision making is very important.

  At the end of the day we had field visit to BAIF NGO which is working for agriculture development. think if we follow some cropping pattern in agriculture it help to sustain for long time. After this module I think agriculture can provide year long work in the agriculture farm itself instead of searching job and going to other places. It can be gainful production. Even in dry land we can grow some of the fruit trees. I think it require lot of patience and hard work to get result in the field. Without using chemical fertilizer we can get more yield by using vermi compost which can be prepared by farmers by using all type of agriculture waste and home waste.
