Green revolution 2.0
An interesting article published in a review magazine of International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) discusses the feasibility of a second green revolution in India this week. Ram Badan Singh, president of the country’s National Academy of Agricultural Sciences feels the signs for another big bang in Indian agriculture are encouraging. “Gross capital formation in agriculture, as a percentage of agricultural GDP, increased from 12% in 2004-05 to 22% in 2010-11. Investment in agriculture has increased by 30% in recent years,” he points out.
