India's agricultural economy in the context of global food security

Dr. Peethala Jayanand Kumar

India's agricultural economy is crucial for both national and global food security, with its extensive production of staple crops, pulses, fruits, and vegetables. Over the past 14 years, from 2010 to 2024, India has seen significant shifts in its agricultural practices due to technological advancements, policy reforms, and the increasing impact of climate change. This review examines the multifaceted role of India's agricultural sector, focusing on productivity trends, sustainability efforts, and the challenges posed by climate change. Key findings highlight the positive impact of sustainable agricultural practices, such as organic farming and precision agriculture, in improving crop yields and reducing environmental degradation. However, the adverse effects of climate change, including rising temperatures and erratic monsoon patterns, have started to undermine these gains, particularly in the yields of major crops like wheat and rice. The review underscores the importance of adopting a more integrated approach that combines technological innovations, policy support, and international cooperation to enhance India's agricultural resilience. Furthermore, it suggests the need for continued investment in research and development to explore new crop varieties and farming techniques that can withstand the challenges of climate change. By synthesizing data from 2010 to 2024, this article provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of India's agricultural economy and its critical role in ensuring global food security. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders working towards sustainable agricultural development in India and beyond.
