Why is farming loss making now?

A vicious circle sets-in with water scarcity, unhealthy soil, increased use of fertilizers, pesticides, and unavailability or costlier farm laborers.

• Water is gift of nature freely available to all living beings to sustain life, be it of humans, birds, animals, trees, or plants. But humans have over exploited water in innumerable ways other than to sustain lives.

• Destruction of forest covers and diversion of natural paths of water flowing to rivers and sea resulted into manmade calamity of floods and ultimately smaller rivers dried-up. This created water scarcity in villages once blossoming with farming being the main source of happiness and prosperity of farmers.

• With depleting ground water table regenerative and biological systems of soil are damaged or almost lost. In unhealthy soil plants are deprived of essential nutrients for growth and good health. Thereby, farm produce is of lower yields and poor quality.

• Use of chemical fertilizers to supplement essential nutrients to the soil is unavoidable now. Organic farming is overrated these days for using organic manures in place of chemical fertilizers.

• Innumerable kinds of pesticides are used to save crops from newer kind of diseases year after year occurring in unhealthy soil. As if it is not enough, newer kinds of insects and worst are Locust too add to the misery in farming. 1 Swarm of Locust can eat the same amount of food in 1 day as 35000 people.

No doubt why is farming loss making now and that would be the worst challenge on balancing Food Supply Chains to sustain lives.

Unfortunately,

More and more farmers don't want their children to take up farming. Farmers are not leaving farming voluntarily, but are left with no options. The average yearly family income of farmers is ₹ 20,000; that comes to like ₹ 1,600 monthly salary for the family. There are not many job opportunities in villages other than farming. Therefore, younger farmers started migrating and prefer to work in cities in spite of various incentives like crops insurance, subsidies, farm loans and/or farm loans waiver offered by governments.
