This book makes it necessary that the food grain production should also increase at least at the same rate or even at a faster rate to improve the nutritional status of masses. The above increase in yield resulted from increased quantum and better management of inputs, such as fertilizers, irrigation water, plant protection and cultural practices, and from improved crop varieties. It is doubtful that the net cropped area can be increased indefinitely, but there is still some scope thought double and multiple cropping. Improved input management practices are yet to be fully exploited, and vast tracts of cultivated lands are very poorly managed. In future, agricultural production is most likely to increase from providing better environment through input management, and from crop varieties.
