  3. Tenacious • CULTIVATED AREA 3.73 m ha (98.4% of CA) • GROSS CROPPED AREA 6.39 m ha • CROPPING INTENSITY 182% • IRRIGATED AREA 84 % • 1st in wheat productivity • 2nd largest contributor to the Central Food Grains Pool • 3rd Largest producer of wheat • 1stin Production & export of Basmati rice • Pioneer in the adoption of zero tillage technology

  4. Cost of Food Security • Excessive exploitation of groundwater • Average annual recession rate 26 cm Depletion of nutrients from soil 75 % soils deficient in Phosphorus Potash declined from 600 to 250 kg / ha 35% soils deficient in Sulphur 58 % soils deficient in Zinc Organic content of soils down to 0.2% • Salinity and water logging • 2.59 lakh ha. (6.8 % of cultivable area) • 50000 ha. Critically affected • Flattening crop productivities

  5. State of the Farmer • Flattening crop productivities • Declining factor productivities • Increasing costs of inputs • Declining size of land holdings • Limited off-farm employment opportunities • 40% farmers do not wish to continue in agriculture • Food security and Livelihood of farmers are both under threat of jeopardy • Debt crisis
