This project is based on the curriculum of CCE under CBSE. Thisproject of economics have given us the golden opportunity of
understanding better on the topic-
Role of Modern Farming methods in increasing production
To prepare this project we have referred to the Economics bookof NCERT, some books of other publishers and consulted our
elders. While making this project we came across many unknown
facts about the modern farming process. We have tried to include
all those things in our project.
In the report, we have given the documentary about our project
and an introduction to make the viewer familiar with the topic.
We have also tried to keep it brief an informative. We expect to
give the viewers our best knowledge and resources through our
project, giving the best result.

Agriculture The principle enterprise of
humankind through most of recorded history.
Today remains the most important economic

percent of Labour force is engaged in
agriculture.

Modern Farming involves a more intensive use of land and building,
mechanization and the use of artificial chemical fertilizers and
weed and get control. Labour is replaced by machines and
chemicals. It involves specialization in crops and animals. It make
use of Hybrid seeds of selected variety of a single crop,
technologically advanced equipment and lots of energy subsidies.

More than 90% of farmers today work using the most
innovative practices and growing techniques to produce
enough food, fuel and fiber for growing world, while
minimizing their environmental footprint at the same time.
The term Modern Agriculture depicts their commitment to
innovation, stewardship and meting the global food challenge
all at oncethere is nothing conventional about that.

Modern agriculture means traditional farming with thefacilities of modern agricultural equipment's and technology.
In the past the farmers used to use bull to plough or dig the
soil. But now with the facilities of modern technology farmers
are using tractor for this purpose.
Different types of hybrid seeds, fertilizers, breeds of birds,
animals and fishes are now available for maximizing the
production.

By 2050, the worldspopulation is expected to grow to nearly
nine billion - the equivalent of two more Chinaswhile the
ratio of arable land to population continues to decrease.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization predictsthat global food production will double by 2050, and 70 % of
the worlds additional food needs can be produced only by
adapting new technologies.
In view of all the challenges, modern agriculture enables
farmers to utilize new innovations, research and scientific
advancements to produce safe, sustainable and affordable
food.

The significant hunger and malnutrition that persist in manyparts of the world would have been far worse had agricultural
systems not grown and developed as they did.
More people the world over eat more and better because ofmodern agriculture. Increased production continues to enable
steadily improving diets, reflecting increased availability of all
foods, dietary diversity and access to high-protein food
products.

The soil is made fertile by adding soil nutrition after analysis of thesoil and the suitability for the seeds/crop for maximum yield.
Mechanization and use of modern machinery for ploughing,
leveling, winnowing, harvesting, spraying , irrigating have reducedmanual labor.
Use of scientific data and technology has helped better
agricultural inputs.
Modern storage and transportation has helped reduce wastage.
Crop protection is one important feature of modern method of
farming.

Removal of buffers to make large fields for maximum efficiency
leading to lower food costs and greater food availability to the
poor. But it also limits the natural habitat of some wild creatures
and can lead to soil erosion.
Use of fertilizers can alter the biology of rivers and lakes.
Pesticides can kill useful insects as well as those that destroycrops.
Generally not sustainable.
Often results in an inferior product.

Use of chemicals on fields creates run-off, excess runs off into
rivers and lakes causing pollution.
Animal Welfare is significantly decreased compared to organic,
animals are kept in tight living conditions, over-fed and only
have a small life span before being slaughtered.
It kills or malnourishes the fungi and bacteria that hold the soil
together, resulting in loss of topsoil, so the increase in yield is
only temporary.

Sustainable Agriculture means an integrated system of plant and animal
production practices having a site specific application that will, over the
long term:
Satisfy human food and human fibers.
Sustain the economic viability of farm operations.
Enhance the quality of life of farmers and society as a whole.
Enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which
agricultural economy depends.
Modern agricultural practices enables farmers to meet all three goals ofsustainability:
1. Conserve and protect natural resources.
2. Meet the food and fuel needs of a growing population
3. Be financially viable for both Growers and Consumers.
