The land under cultivation has got reduced day by day. Can you imagine its consequences?

Land under cultivation: The land under cultivation has got reduced day by day. It may result in disastrous consequences. With the growing population of India, the declining food production may create a shortage of food grains in future. The competition of land between non-agricultural uses such as housing and agriculture has resulted in reduction in the net sown area. The food production has declined. In 2000-01, India produced only 199 million tonnes of food grains. As more factories and industries are being setup, new fertile land for farming is not available. Land degradation is on the increase. There is also scarcity of water in some areas.
Thus, unless scientists are successful to produce more food through agricultural techniques such as use of bio-technology, India may face food scarcity in future.
