If farmers begin to give up agriculture because it is getting increasingly unremunerative, the country could face a serious food crisis in the years to come. With the countryââ¬â¢s population projected to reach close to 152 crores by 2030, the demand for food alone is expected to be 450 million tonnes. If the farmer-base were to shrink rapidly, it would be a tall order to meet that demand through domestic farm produce and India would have to depend on imported food. http://www.dailypioneer.com/columnists/i...-help.html
