Why is it important to improve the production from agriculture and animal husbandry?
To combat the unpredictable natural calamities like famine, drought, floods, etc.
India is the second most populated country in the world which is growing to increase further in the coming years. India will need to produce a quarter of a billion tonnes of food grains every year to feed it's population. This can be done by increasing the area under agriculture. But, India is already extensively cultivated.
Along with this, the unpredictable conditions like floods, famines, etc. puts the population in predicament situation with lack of food and sometimes loss of shelter along with other basic survival necessities.
Hence, it is important to improve food production from agriculture and animal husbandry.
