Agricultural Pollution & Wastage
For many years, our ancestors did farming in a sustainable way, thus there were almost no problems with agricultural pollution. However, due to the optimization of yields over time through the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, agricultural pollution became a significant problem to the environment.
There are also many other sources from agricultural pollution. The details of sources as well as solutions related to agricultural pollution are shown in the link https://www.environmental-awareness.com/causes-effects-solutions-for-agricultural-pollution/
Also another issue that India is one of the few countries on the planet to have achieved grain self-sufficiency. The country’s overall yield is high enough to feed its entire population and then some. India is the largest producer of milk and pulses in the world, and the second largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, groundnut, fruits and vegetables. The country also possesses 46 varieties of soil, which facilitates the production and exportation of a diverse range of crops.
In spite of these statistics, hunger remains a major issue within the country. In the 2018 Global Hunger Index – India ranked 103rd among the total 119 countries. The nation continues to fail in feeding its population despite the abundant agricultural wealth. Experts say the prime reason behind this disparity is down to the sheer wastage of agricultural food.
Ramadhar Smarak-Gram Seva Sansthan helps the rural people by providing new techniques and awareness programme for people to understand the environmental responsibility.
