Abstract

Problem of agricultural distress in India started with the mismatch of demand and supply of food
grains. India adopted the process of industrial agriculture to deal with the problem of inadequate supply,
which implies application of goods produced by industries for increasing production in agriculture. It causes
the problem of declining productivity and income of farmers, deteriorating environmental quality, reduced
profitability, and threat to the health of humans, animals, and nature in India. The paper aims at suggesting
the causes of deteriorating term of trade between agriculture and industry and ways to improve it along with
suggestion on alternative inputs like- organic fertilisers and pesticides which will not only make agriculture
a profitable venture but also have higher nutritive value with sustainability.
