Produktinformationen zu „The Indian Food Crisis (ePub)“
India has always found ways to overcome her problems. After terrible famines in the 1960s, we achieved foodgrain self-sufficiency in the 1970s. Today, we have buffer stock, diversification of agriculture and significant growth in the agriculture-based processing industry. Yet, about 40 per cent of our people still live below the poverty line. Clearly, we haven't solved all our problems on the food front. Moreover, with time, demand will increase and new challenges to agriculture will continue to surface. In such a case, how do we find a way to move forward? In The Indian Food Crisis, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Y.S. Rajan present a range of simple technologies, a large set of necessary organizational efforts and information exchange programmes that will help us attain permanent and sustainable food security.
