Personal Perspective

Abstract

In 1972, the prices of fossil fuel suddenly shot up and with it there was enormous escalation in fertiliser prices. People were therefore very pessimistic about the future of agriculture in the country, though the Green Revolution had been hailed only a few years before. So in my talk on Our Agriculture Future in 1973 I said that what we needed was an integrated approach: a farming systems approach looking at our land and water resources. I also spoke about the concept of Sarvodaya Agriculture, which is a high synergy society of farmers, managing and caring for natural resources like land and water, through group cooperation and group farming.
