Theme and Purpose of Conference:

-
Technologies and policies initiated during the 1960s have transformed India from a food-deficit to a food-surplus country and pushed up agriculture on the path of commercialization. A transition from subsistence to commercial system can be understood both from product and factor-side. The product commercialization is reflected in increasing surplus production, diversification towards high-value food commodities, rising share of export in output, etc. From factor-side, the commercialization may be understood as the adoption of modern inputs such as seeds, fertilizers pesticides, irrigation and power use. Such transitions offer opportunities to unleash the potential of agriculture by addressing the emerging challenges through technological, institutional and policy interventions.
-
Agriculture is supposed to contribute at least US$ 1 trillion to achieve the target of US$ 5 trillion economy by 2024-25. This requires agriculture to grow at a significantly higher rate than in the past. In this context it is important to identify the key sources of agricultural growth, and the enabling conditions for the same. Moreover, it is also important to understand policy implications of higher income growth on the production portfolio, resource use, food basket, and sustainability of natural resources.
