 ASSIGNMENT 1 (GROUP)- AGRARIAN CRISIS CONCEPTS AND RELATIONSHIPS
Rationale for the weight
Agriculture depends on natural water resources, drought causes scarcity of water and floods causes unavailabilty of safe drinkin
Drought causes failure of crops due to unavailbility of water for growth, floods damage crops and agriculture land leading to cr
Drought and flood makes the land fallable or uncultivable, extra inputs are requreid to make it cultivable which increases cost o
Water is one of the component (others being soil fertility, soil nutrient content etc) for crop growth, unavalibilty of water affect
Water crisis makes crop cultivation more intensive since it requries purchase water from external sources
Overuse of chemical fertilisers leads to acidificationof soil and decrease in organic matter which makes it increses its toxicity
Use of fertilisers intially increases fertility of soil, after a few years overall quality of soil decreases
Chemical pesticides are useful upto some extent on pest, overuse or high dosage increases resistance of pest to pesticides. Thes
Chemical pesticides are detrimental to natural microbiota of soil, it deceases the count of healthy microbes of soil which leads t
During the use of chemical fertilisers, its components leaches into the soil and gets acuumulated. This accumulation makes the
Chemical pesticides causes decline of soil microbiota (responsible for soil nutrient content and fertility), which causes decline i
Hybrid and GM seeds are not resistant to draught or pest attack as compared to indigenous or desi seeds. Use of such seeds may
Pest attack damages the crop leading to decline in the overall crop yield or sometimes no crop yield, renumeration for the farme
Crop failure is most significant cause for increased cost of cultivation. After crop failure, culitavtion becomes more cost intensi
Cultivating crops is cost intensive due to the requirement of imputs such as seed, fertilisers, labor etc. The input's cost is usually
Farmer significantly depends on agriculture to lead a sustainable life, crop failure leads to very less or zero crop yield. This cri
Farmer is highly dependent on agriclture for a sustainable livelihood, crop failure leads to decrease in farmer income and push
Due to fluctuating market prices of agriculture commodities, farmer receives less renumeration. This inequality leads to crisis i
Price fluctuations of agriculture commodities leads to unequal renumeration to farmers, due to whcih farmer's income decline a
Incereasing cost of cultivation such as high cost of seeds, fertilizers are making farming cost intesive. It increases debts leading
Increasing the cost of cultivation like seeds, ploughsing, fertilizers and pesticides have a moderate affect on the farmers income
Farmers having daughters are subjected to this crisis
Farmers who born in high caste and in upper class are in the need to maintain their status in the society and when they fail by g
Indebtedness is the primary reason for the suicide of the farmers
Reduction in soil micro biota results in the accumulation of chemical uptake by plants through fertilisers and pesticides in the b
Usually Chemical fertilizers converts the unavailable form of nutrients in the soil to available form through nitrification, ammo
Reduction in soil micro biota does not affect the yield as farmers use heavy doses of fertilisers but in case of not applying fertil
Soil toxicity reduces the micro biota and available cum unavailable form of nutrients. It ultimately results in less production
As much as fertile the soil is, so as the increase in yield (unless cultivation exposed in unfavourable external factors )
Adopting natural farming can reduce the regular cost of cultivation by 70% to 80 %
Natural farming always increase soil micro biota content
As natural farming increases micro biota content , eventually the toxicity of the land decreases
Natural farming increases soil fertility through the micro-biota.Natural farming restores the soil fertility, even in the polluted la
As only natural inputs are used in natural farming,it increases the soil organic matter and encourages the growth of microorgani
As natural farming results in a significant increase in soil's organic matter and aggregates,it is much better to absorb and hold th
Nature works best when it is left to itself, encouraging growth of microorganisms, and the overall ecosystem and biodiversity.
