Indians consume vegetables galore. In fact, the food habits of the India are based on culinary traditions. Many indians are vegetarian, so teir diet is without meat. We know that 40 % of the population is vegetarian. The carbon footprint of foods is not important than United State since in india, they can't eat a lot of beef, lamb, pork and chiken.

However, cereal crops are at the root of water's lack. The groundwaters are used more than possible. They haven't the time to be constantly changing.

In addition, farmers use endosulfan, an insecticide. This country is one of the largest producers and consumer of endosulfan in the world. The endoculfan is volatile and contaminates air, water, plants and fish. Despite the ban in 2012, this insecticide is still employ and it poisons 4 270 persons since 1978.

Next to Rwanda and Ethiopia, India is the country which consume less of meat per person. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Indians comsume 4,4 kiligrams per person of meat. While French eat 86,7 kilograms per person in 2009. Furthermore, the majority of the India population is Hindu. Therefore, we can't see beef and pork in plates due to religious requirements. Consequently, the impact of the meat's production on the environment is lower than other countries like France.

Environmental problems coming from the agriculture practices in India

Environmental problems coming from the agriculture practices in India

# data[].attributes.body
Problems about the lands :

because almost all the family have a bit of crops. Consequently, they haven't got lot of parcel. That's why they can't develop modern way to cultivate. So, they use traditional methods and have a low productivity. Their income come down.

“The average size of holdings was 2.28 hectares in 1970-71 which was reduced to 1.82 hectares in 1980-81 and 1.50 hectares in 1995-96.” according to Puja Mondal.

Irrigation problems :

The farmer in India are dependent of the monsoon.

The problem here, is a lack of water. In the country, there are lots of dry area.

The agriculture use about 80 % of the water the country needs. That's very huge. Consequently, it's very difficult to find solutions in order to improve the yield and to increase/ boost the economy.

Problems in terms of seeds :

VHR (variété à haut rendement) en anglais : HYV

Poor farmers buy their seeds at the market. They can buy GMO or HYV, seeds which allow to have higher yield. But sometimes, that doesn't work and the destitute of farmers increase.

But with this type of seeds, they need to use more fertilizers than with normal seeds. Consequently, more water too.

Problems due to the globalization :

Many farmers have a small farm. Consequently, they can't boost the economy of the country, and can't participate in the globalization. Consumers buy to big farms, because, they have high yield, so low price. Little one's increase their price to have money-making.

Lack of mechanisation:

They use simple tools like wooden plough, sickle (faucille).

→ lots of labour, but low productivity.

1) To resolve the problem of fragmented land, we can organize consolidation of village lands and cooperative farming. Furthermore, the land can be farmed by using the latest technology.

2) Irrigation problems : The Government will force the farmers to produce only the designated corps and Government can encourage farmers to shift their crops. The irrigation problems are due to traditional crop.

3) Seed problems : creating in house seed banks at the village level for traditional crops.

4) Sustainability solutions : proper crop with water galore, crop rotation, deploying modern agricultural practices to boost productivity, choose organic farming.

5) Organic farming : reduces water consumption, the unnecessary usage of artificial fertilisers, costs, creates a virtuous cycle between consumers and farmers thanks to the creation of a proper market in the towns and cities.

6) Storage facilities (entrepôts) : to get destitude people out of starvation.
