Farmers Plowing and their Sources

In Summer days, barley was the crop that cultivated mostly and primarily. Wheat, dates, flax, plums, applesand grapes were also grown at the time. The flooding,along with the salt deposits on the soils, made cultivation very difficult in Mesopotamia. Sheep, cattles and goats were cared out and kept mainly for the purpose of meat, milk, butter and cheese were produced from the latter years.The labours has maintained storehouses, work foremen,and harvest inchargers to feed and suplement labourers. Agricultural products were given to the temple personnel,royal people in the specific community, and small farmers.

BronzeAge Period:

In the time of Bronze Age, the wild grains and foods had an important role in the nutritionally insignificant products to the food products. If the effortive definition of  theagriculture contains large Value of effective cultivation of land, mono-cropping,  customized irrigation, and use of the specialized labour force, the name "inventors of  agriculture" will goes to the Sumerians 5500 BC. Intensive farming gives a more amount of  population that would be supported by the hunting and gathering.

Agriculture History

Ancient INDIAN Agriculture

Wheat,rice, barley, and jute were cultivated by the subcontinents of India by 9000 BCE; Domestication of sheep's and goat's are soon followed. Rice, Barley and wheat cultivated — along with the cattle's, primarily sheep and goat—continued in Mehrgarh culture by 8000-6000 BCE.This period is also to saw the first elephant domestication.In India we have threshed,planted crops in fields for good food safety and stored grain in granaries for both sales and for our food needablity.
                  In the 5th millennium the agricultural fields and family's became to spread on Kashmir.Cotton was cultivated by the 5th millennium -4th millennium farmer's.The scientificial evidence Proves that rice became a part of the Indian Food by 8000.A number of cultures have done an perfect rice cultivation,like China, India, and the other countries in Southeast Asia. Irrigation and cultivation was developed in the Indus Valley project around 4500 BCE.A clear evidence of an animal-drawn  plough to 2500 land areas in the Indus Valley project.

Agriculture structure

India’s agricultural area is  of 170 million hectares vast land in 2003-2005. It has the second largest vast land area in the world next to the United States.In  2007 agricultural policy monitoring report by OECD notes Indian agriculture is dominated by the maximum number of small scale owner occupied.
The average size of agricultural land in the nineties was about 1.4 hectares and it continues to changed , as farms are usually divided on multiples. In India’s 116 million farmers, around 60% have only less than 1 hectare and they cultivate in 20% of the land.

Agriculture Policy

Indian agriculture policy is aimed essentially at improving
food self sufficiency and alleviating hunger through food distribution. Aside from investing in agricultural infrastructure, the government supports agriculture through measures including minimum support prices (MSP) for the major agricultural crops, farm input subsidies
and preferential credit schemes.

Under the price support policy, MSPs are set annually for basic staples to protect producers from sharp price falls, to stabilise prices and to ensure adequate food stocks for public distribution. In the past guaranteed prices have been below the prevailing market prices, according to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in 2007.

Socialist: A Very few social activists have the attention of Indians across the globe as Hazare did during his "fast unto death" over the issue of the Lokpal Bill in New Delhi in April 2011. Hazare, a Gandhian by belief, outlook and practice, has become the face of India's fight against corruption.

During his fast over the Lokpal Bill, Hazare, a essential traditional Indian by looks and mannerism, managed to inspire and mobilize the support of even the ultra-modern Indians - Indians for whom the word "social" only means having a profile on social networking sites. The "Anna Hazare fast" can be described as the first real "social networking movement" in India. Hazare, a former Army man, began his social activism from Ralegan Siddhi, a village in Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra, where he successfully led a movement against alcoholism and made Ralegan Siddhi a "model village". Hazare's campaign was instrumental in the implementation of the Right to Information Act in Maharashtra, which is considered one of the best RTI Acts in India. A Ramon Magsaysay award winner, Anna Hazare, like his idol, Mahatma Gandhi, has triggered a debate over the use of fast as a means of protest in India. By sheer commitment and simplicity, he has demonstrated that Gandhian principles are relevant even in the 21st-century India.

Model Village

Military service

In 1962, events in South Asia meant that large-scale army recruitments were being undertaken. Despite not meeting the physical requirements, 25-year-old Hazare was selected, as emergency recruitment was taking place in the Indian Army.[7] After training at Aurangabad in Maharashtra he started his career in the Indian Army as a driver in 1963.[8] During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, Hazare was posted at the border in the Khem Karan sector. On 12 November 1965, Pakistan launched air attacks on Indian bases, and all of Hazare's comrades were killed; he was the only survivor of that convoy. It was a close save for Hazare as one bullet had passed by his head.[9] He was driving a truck.[6][10] This led him to dwell on the purpose and meaning of life and death. He came across a small booklet titled "Call to the youth for nation building" by Swami Vivekananda in a book stall at the New Delhi railway station.[11] He realized that saints sacrificed their own happiness for that of others, and that he needed to work towards ameliorating the sufferings of the poor. He started to spend his spare time reading the works of Vivekananda, Gandhi, and Vinoba Bhave.[12] During the mid-1970s, he again survived a road accident while driving.[13] It was at that particular moment that Hazare took an oath to dedicate his life to the service of humanity, at the age of 38.[9] In 1975, he left the army as soon as he become eligible for receiving pension.

Anna Hazare

Early life

Kisan Hazare was born on 15 June 1937 in Bhaaingar, a small village near the city of Hinganghat, in Bombay Province (present-day Maharashtra).[5] Kisan's father, Baburao Hazare, worked as an unskilled labourer in Ayurveda Ashram Pharmacy. Kisan's grandfather was working for the army in Bhingar, when he was born. The grandfather died in 1945, but Baburao continued to stay at Bhingar. In 1952, Baburao resigned from his job and returned to his own village, Ralegan Siddhi. Kisan had six younger siblings and the family faced significant hardships. Kisan's childless aunt offered to look after him and his education, and took him to Mumbai. Kisan studied up to the seventh standard in Mumbai and then sought employment, due to the economic situation in his household. He started selling flowers at Dadar to support his family. He soon started his own shop and brought two of his brothers to Bombay.[6]

India is an intermittent importer of EU wheat (graph 14). Having been a small net exporter of wheat since 1999/00, India became a net importer in 2006/07. The EU’s wheat exports were worth €120 million in 2006, equivalent to one third of the value of exports. Exports of whiskies have grown fourfold from 1999 to 2006 and now account for 10% of export sales. Dried peas accounted for 6% of exports in 2006 but have fluctuated over the period.The value of agricultural exports from the EU to India is only about €250 million (average 2004-2006). India accounts for less than 0.5% percent of the EU’s total agricultural exports. Meanwhile the EU imports €1.3 billion worth of agri-food products from India, equivalent to 2% of the EU’s global agri-food imports. This is just half the value of the EU’s imports from China. India ranks as the 12th most important EU supplier.The breakdown of the EU’s exports to India is shown in graph 13. In 2004-2006 wheat was the EU’s top agricultural export to India, valued at €40 million and accounting for 16% of exports. Scotch whisky exports were worth €32 million, around 13% of exports. Exports of raw wool and hides for further processing in the Indian textile industry were valued at €18 and €14 million respectively. Dried peas were €11 million. Other specialised products are exported to India, such as vegetable seeds (€6 million), wine and olive oil both valued at around €4 million.

Growth of Agriculture

High growth rates have significantly reduced poverty in India. ����������������However it’s GDP per head is still very low (estimated at US$ 820 in 2006), so it remains classified by the World Bank as a low income country. �����The World Development Report 2008 states that over one third of the population of India was living below the poverty line in 2004-2005, managing on less than $1 a day.
Cereals are the staple food in India, providing over half the calories consumed, while pulses are the main protein supplement in the diet. Rising incomes and the influence of globalisation have contributed to changes in the diet with a slight decrease in cereals consumption and an increase in pulses, edible
oils, fruits and vegetables, milk and meat, which is growing from a low base. In the case of edible oils, the fall in prices after the liberalisation of imports further stimulated consumption. However although diets are diversifying, India still lags behind Brazil and China in terms of daily calorie intake per capita.

Services

Agricultural Services

Agriculture plays an important, though declining role in the economy. Its share in overall GDP fell from 30% in the early nineties, to below 17.5% in 2006 (graph 2). This is high compared to China and Brazil, at 12% and 5% respectively. Over this period the share of industry has stayed relatively constant, reaching nearly 28% in 2006.
Meanwhile the services sector has grown rapidly (accounting for about 65% of total GDP growth from 2000-2005), to almost 55% of GDP in 2006. The World Bank predicts that the shift towards the service sector will continue at the expense of agriculture, whose share could decline by 30% by 2030.
Despite India’s economic development, over 70% of the population still live in rural areas. Agriculture is the key employer with around 60% of the labour force, down from 70% in the early nineties. This compares with 44% in China (2002) and 21 % in Brazil (2004).

India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and logging accounted for 16.6% of the GDP in 2007, employed 52% of the total workforce[1] and despite a steady decline of its share in the GDP, is still the largest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall social-economic development of India.
