India is number 2 in agricultural production but it is also number 2 in population and number 7 in terms land. It is true that we import lots of food from abroad and this is the reason why the prices are too high. India imports 103 B US$ worth already from other countries Do you really think that this amount of land would feed huge nation.
India is the only country with rich in culture heritage but overpopulation is the biggest problem. India do not enough land having land per person as 2,200 sq. mt only. It is definitely not sufficient to both feed our population and live. This blame could be given to our previous generation for heavy population. India would have richest life style if population was controlled then. The prices of food would also have been lesser. On top of that locust invasion is a pain. Immediate action needed to be taken is to educate lower class people to control the population.
If we talk about the past there was enough rich land and less population to feed ourselves. On 15th August 1947 the exchange rate between Indian rupee and US Dollar was equal to one (i.e., 1 $= 1 Indian Rupee) and pound sterling at Rs. 13.33. Due to the population growth exponentially we indirectly led ourselves to lesser currency exchange today the exchange is 71 and 91 respectively.
At present USA and other countries buy precious metals and diamonds from India at very less cost for them. All the wealth moving to other countries. We buy food, worth less software and other products and mobiles from them. All the wealth disappearing from ultimate slavery is ahead. The only way to avoid this is written in this link https://infoexplored.blogspot.com/2020/02/serving-our-country-right-way-india.html
Now lets talk about the future. It is not much land left in India to feed every one. Now lots of people are also leaving agriculture as profession. America, Malaysia and Africa having lots of land and better agricultural machinery would be supplying food for India. If this pace goes on like this we would be relying on other countries other possible solution is to grow our own food click link to know more https://infoexplored.blogspot.com/p/grow-your-own-vegetables-at-home-in.html
