• Indian is An Agrarian Economy engages ~ 60% of our Population• Shocking Growth rate for Agriculture is 2-3 %

IF we rely on UN Math’s- It says:

More than 100,000 farmers have taken

their lives since 1997.

Their average debt was about $835.

On average, there has been one farmer’s suicide

every 32 minutes since 2002

( Reason being Crop failure, Crop Disease, Poor yields, etc.)

• World population will hit 9.1 billion in 2050.

• If we produce at same rate there will be no enough

food to feed.

• $ 85 Bn need to be invested in developing countries

on farming to sustain

• Answer is collaboration among all stake holders

If they Don’t we are in serious problem
