3. DOUBLING OF FARMERS’INCOME
“I wish to double the income of farmers by 2022 when
India will celebrate 75 years of its Independence
- Prime Minister while addressing farmers rally at Bareilly (Feb 28, 2016)
Budget 2016-17
“We are grateful to our farmers for being the backbone
of the country’s food security. We need to think beyond
food security and give back to our farmers a sense of
income security. Government will, therefore, reorient its
interventions in the farm and non-farm sectors to double
the income of the farmers by 2022.”
-Finance Minister Budget Speech, February 29,2016.

6. SEVEN STRATERGIES TO DOUBLE FARMERS
INCOME
 Focus on irrigation along with adequate resource
building.
 Increase production through improved seeds ,
planting materials ,organic farming and soil health
card .
 Strengthening warehousing and cold chain
facilities to curb post harvest losses.
 Value addition through food processing .
 Overcoming deficiencies in agriculture marketing
through e-NAM.
 Work on institutional loan to reduce risk and growth
of agricultural sector.

7.  Allied activities of agriculture like Dairy
development ,Poultry,Beekeeping, Fisheries, Agro-
forestry and Integrated Nutrient Management.

• Rastriya Gokul Mission.
•National Bovine Productivity Mission.
•Dairy Entrepreneurship Developmenet Scheme.
•Blue revolution .
•Sub-Mission on Agro-forestry.
•Rural backyard Poultry Development.
•Grid connected Rooftop Small Solar Power Programme etc.

8. WHAT IS TO BE DOUBLED?
Income of farmers, not farm incomes only, not the
output or the income of the sector or the value added or GDP of
agriculture sector.
 i.e. Real Income not Nominal Income
Nominal income is the income expressed in money terms and
measured in current currency (rupee, dollar etc.)
Real income is income of individuals or nations after
adjusting for inflation.
 RI = NI – Inflation

9. MAJOR CHALLENGES AND ISSUES IN
AGRICULTURE
 High cost & less availability of hybrid seeds.
 Lack of short duration high yielding varieties.
 High cost of production.
 Low storage and processing facilities.
 Market fluctuation in cropping and off season.
 Imbalance & more use of chemical fertilizer and pesticide.
 Productivity of major crops is also low in comparison to
national level.
 Lack of marketing facility.

10. INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM
 The integrated farming system approach introduces a change
in the farming techniques for maximum production in the
cropping pattern and takes care of optimal utilization of
resources.
The farm wastes are better recycled for productive
purposes in the integrated system.
 A judicious mix of agricultural enterprises like dairy, poultry,
piggery, fishery, sericulture etc. suited to the given agro-climatic
conditions and socio-economic status of the farmers would
bring prosperity in the farming.

13.  Food security
 Provide balanced food
 Quality food basket
 High productivity and enhanced farm income
 Effective recycling of resources
 Minimizing environmental pollution
 Employment generation

28. KEY BARRIERS IN ADOPTION OF IFS
Lack of awareness about sustainable farming systems.
Unavailability of varied farming system models.
Unavailability of financial resources and varying
conditions on farmers fields.
Lacking ensured marketing facilities specially for
perishable commodities.
Lack of Deep freezing and storage facilities.
Lack of timely availability of inputs.
Lack of access to information, extension, skills.

34. •CONCLUSION
 System mode of production incorporating crop,
livestock, fish, horticulture, and agro forestry is a
potential option for doubling farmers’ income.
 The severity of constrains experienced in the
adoption of IFS could be reduced through market
intelligence along with risk management ,
processing and value addition .
 The productivity and total production could be
enhanced through supply of quality inputs including
seeds , fingerlings , birds for poultry and saplings .
