Question

Can you suggest some measures which should be taken by the government to increase agricultural production besides those that are already taken?

Answer 1

Hint: The exploitation of resources such as land, water, and energy has long been a part of agricultural production. The hunt for 'sustainable' agricultural systems has resulted from the need to increase productivity to feed a growing global population while also protecting resources for future generations.

Complete answer:
A rise in agricultural output in a region indicates a more effective distribution of scarce resources. Water is a necessity for producing crops, and water management can help you increase yield. Water management is the most effective approach to boost output. Tube wells benefit from the manufacturing canals because they have a superior irrigation system for crop protection.

Some measures which should be taken by the government to increase agricultural production are:
1) Increase output through incentivizing the expansion of cropland, changes in output mix, and technical innovations such as the use of HYV seeds.
 2) Encourage people to switch from staple foods to more labour-intensive, high-income-elastic items like vegetables, fruits, and animals.
3) If technology is to adapt to changing local needs, an indigenous method for creating technical change is required.
4) Rural development should be broad-based and include small/medium-scale rural industries. Adequate industrial policy is required for the development of such industries.
5) By simplifying access to land, rural financing, technical expertise, communications, and transportation, farmers can be encouraged to trade in agricultural products as well as supply them to the domestic market.

Note: Measures are being taken to significantly boost agricultural production in order to fulfil the population's growing requirements and to provide a foundation for industrial development, including steps to increase both extensive and intensive farming. Various land reform methods have been implemented in order to eliminate intermediary land interests.
