World Food Production

Major links of food production
1. Food production relies on good quality land and adequate
supplies of water;
2. Historically, most land clearing has been for agriculture;
3. Wide range of agricultural impacts on the environment.
• Agriculture will continue to be a priority for the
Government. The total plan outlay for the
Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is
being increased by 18% from INR 17,123 crore
in 2011-12 to INR 20,208 crore in 2012-13.
• Agriculture supports 65% of the
population (75% in 1947 – at independence)
• Contribution of agriculture & allied sector
is 18% to GDP (61% at independence)
• India ranks 94th in the Global Hunger
Index (out of 119 countries)

Food grain production in India
India's food grain production has more than doubled over the decades that followed colonial rule to a record 264 million tonnes in the fiscal year 2014. But, to feed the fast growing population, with more than a quarter of them still estimated to be below the poverty line, the country needs to produce more.
India's raw food sector covers fruit and
vegetables; spices; meat and poultry;
milk and milk products, beverages,
fisheries, soya-based products, etc…..
The Indian food services industry is
estimated to be nearly worth Rs
75,000 crore (US$ 13.79 billion)

Cropping Pattern
14
India is a vast country. The climatic
conditions like temperature, humidity and
rainfall vary from one region to another.
Accordingly, there is a rich variety of crops
grown in different parts of the country.
Despite this diversity, two broad cropping
patterns can be identified.
1)Kharif Crops
2)Rabi Crops
Kharif Crops
The crops which are sown
in the rainy season are
called kharif crops. The
rainy season in India is
generally from June to
September. Paddy, maize,
soya bean, groundnut,
cotton, etc., are kharif
crops.
15
Rabi Crops
16
The crops grown in the winter
season are called rabi crops.
Their time period is generally from
October to March. Examples of
rabi crops are wheat, gram, pea,
mustard and linseed.

India's food-grain production will report a decline of
3% 2014-15. The agriculture ministry on Wednesday brought
out an estimate for the year, putting the total food-grain
production at 257.07 million tons in current crop year (July-
June period) as compared to the highest ever food-grain
production of 265.57 million tons in 2013-14.

Commercial Crops:
Andhra Pradesh is one of the major cotton producing states in the
country.
Cotton production in the state was recorded at 49 lakh bales during
2011-12.
Sugarcane and Oilseeds are the other major commercial crops in the
State. The production statistics of these commercial crops in the state is
illustrated in the table below.

Production of the world’s most important food sources has peaked
and could begin dropping, as the world’s population continues to
grow, according to research published in Ecology and Society. The
study looked at production and yield rates for 27 renewable and
nonrenewable resources from 1961 to about 2010.
