Indian agriculture is at cross-roads. The Green Revolution becoming a Greed Revolution resulted in ecological crisis and lead to a technology fatigue. The Prime Minister called for alternatives to enhance produc-tion through smallholders and in rainfed areas.
The natural resources that support production systems are continuously degrading. This is more so in the rainfed eco-system. Unless this malady is corrected, even the improved genetic material will fail to show up its potential.
