D Correct answer
Explanation
Farmers in India are mostly engaged in Intensive subsistence agriculture.
The term, ‘intensive subsistence agriculture’ is used to describe a type of agriculture characterised by high output per unit of land and relatively low output per worker. Although the nature of this agriculture has changed and in many areas now it is no more subsistence.

But despite changes, the term ‘intensive subsistence’ is still used today to describe those agricultural systems which are clearly more sophisticated than the primitive agriculture. Sometimes it is also known as ‘monsoon type of agriculture’.

Which of the following agricultural products, farmers can not export directly?

  1. Food grains

  2. Vegetables

  3. Flowers

  4. Fruits
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Food grains.

For exporting any commodity out of India, you need to go through many procedures that an ordinary farmer cannot handle by himself or herself.

First, being scattered individuals, farmers in general cannot produce a product at a scale needed for export, and cannot cope up with the elaborate and complex export procedures.

Second, most Indian farmers are smallholders with an average farm size of 1–2 hectares per family. In such cases, they have to produce crops every season to meet their own needs and to sell the small surplus in local markets immediately after harvest. They don’t have large surpluses needed for export.

Third, most foods are perishable in the short (vegetables, fruits) or medium term (grains) and as such they have to be sold to consumers before they rot. There are not adequate storage (cold storage) and refrigerated transport facilities to handle perishable goods in long transit.

Fourth, farmers are not organized into effective producer groups with a professional guidance and required infrastructure for export of commodities they produce. Only well-organized producer groups can bulk the products, process them well, add value wherever possible, organize all the permits and papers needed for export, and manage the prices for their raw and or processed products.

Which of the following is the aim of organic farming?

  1. To produce crop with high nutritional value

  2. To maintain and improve long term fertility and sustainability of farmland

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The aim of organic farming is to establish and maintain soil-plant, plant- animal and animal soil interdependence and to create a sustainable agro- ecological system based on local resources, approaching in this way the concept of functional integrity of systems. Organic farming uses environmentally friendly methods of crop and livestock production, without use of synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones, growth enhancing antibiotics, synthetic pesticides or gene manipulation. Nevertheless, organic livestock farming is not a production method which solves all problems in livestock production sustainability. As of today, it is largely seen primarily as a production method for a specific premium market requiring special management qualifications. Its high capability for meeting increased consumer demand for environmentally friendly products is associated with better quality of products alongside animal welfare.
