Agricultural activities provide a living for about 60% of the Indian people. Indian agriculture is dominated by small and marginal farmers. With significant risks of natural calamities such as floods and droughts, India’s marginal and small farmers are focusing almost entirely on agricultural production. Farmers are unable to make enough money to support their families because of these calamities. Rising food and energy prices, depleting water supply, diminishing farm size, soil degradation, and climate change have adverse effects in the agricultural production
