India's economy relies on agriculture. The agriculture sector in India provides jobs and supports a large section of the people while contributing significantly to the country's GDP. About 70% of the population lives in rural areas and relies on agriculture for food. Agriculture is growing slower than the service and manufacturing industries, notwithstanding its enormous growth. The agriculture ministry said that India's agricultural sector grew 3.64 percent during the 11th Plan, falling short of the 4 percent target. A comprehensive analysis reveals that accelerating agricultural growth may be needed to reduce poverty in India even with an 8-9% GDP growth rate. The achievement and equal distribution of agricultural growth across the nation can achieve inclusive growth. Sustainability has become a major food production issue.
