Indian Food and Agriculture: The Real Era of Science, Technology and Innovation • From “ Food deficient ” and “ Food Import ” in 1947 to “ Food Self-sufficiency ” and “ Food Export ” in 1980 • From “ Conventional farming ” to “ Technology led agriculture ” • Ushered in through Green, White, Blue and Yellow Revolutions National Conference on “ Agriculture and Technology Innovation for Nutritional Security ” February 9-10, 2018 at AFSTI, Allahabad
Green, White and Blue Revolutions Between 1951 and 2017-18 � Food grain production 51 to 273.4 mt � Horticultural production 40 to 295.8 mt � Milk production 17 to 163.7 mt (No. 1) � Fish production 0.75 to 10.8 mt � Meat production 7 mt � Egg production 82.9 billion � Poverty and hunger percentages reduced to less than half
Synergies Brought Revolution • Technology � Innovations • Services � Public Policies • Farmers ’ enthusiasm • Political will Indian farmers achieved as much progress in wheat production in four years (1964 – 68), as during the preceding 4000 years Assured and remunerative market was prime mover of farmers ’ National Conference on “ Agriculture and Technology Innovation for Nutritional Security ” enthusiasm February 9-10, 2018 at AFSTI, Allahabad

Major Challenges for Major Challenges for Indian Food Sector Indian Food Sector • Providing food and nutrition to 1,439 million by 2020 and 1,619 million by 2050 • More than 80 percent of Indian farmers are marginal (up to 1 hectare) and small (1 – 2 hectares) • Nearly 40% of them (about 160 million) are most vulnerable, marginalized and food insecure • The farms are diverse, heterogeneous and unorganized • Almost 60 percent of net cultivated area is rainfed

Post Harvest Management : Biggest Challenge � Losses: Dairy – 1%, Food grains – 10%, Horticulture – 30-40 % � Loss is estimated to be more than Rs. 80,000 Crore annually � Loss can be reduced substantially by providing appropriate Post Harvest Technology & Management (Cleaning, Sorting, Grading, Drying, Cooling, Packaging, Storage, Milling, Refining etc ) in value chain
Sector Wise Share of Food Processing Industry in India [VALUE] [VALUE] 42% Organized Sector Unorganized Sector Small Scale Industries
Dairying: The Major Food Enterprise � In 1964-65 rice production was 39.3 MT which increased to 106 MT � In corresponding period, milk production increased from 17 MT to 163.74 MT � Milk group has highest contribution to livestock output (70-73%) � In 2016-17, the outcome of milk and milk products was more than sum of outcome of wheat, rice, pulses and all other cereals.

World has Hidden Hunger & Malnutrition • In world, 842 million people (about 12% of total population) or about one in eight people are estimated to be suffering from chronic hunger • Since 1990-92, globally the total number of undernourished has fallen by 17%. In developing countries number of hungry people reduced from 994 million in 1990-92 to 791 million in 2012-14 • Globally, micronutrient deficiency is of greatest significance. Of those, vitamin A, Iodine, Iron and Zinc are most important • Globally, more than 2 billion people were reported to be deficient in one or more micronutrients National Conference on “ Agriculture and Technology Innovation for Nutritional Security ” February 9-10, 2018 at AFSTI, Allahabad
Will Hunger and Mal-nutrition Continue? • • By 2050 Global population Hunger and Malnutrition will increase from 7.18 billion will persist and affects a (2014) to 9.6 billion and to significant proportion of feed them food production global population has to be increased by 70% • Food production has doubled during the last 25 years National Conference on “ Agriculture and Technology Innovation for Nutritional Security ” February 9-10, 2018 at AFSTI, Allahabad
