Agricultural growth, farmers’ income and nutrition security: Linkages and challenges - Journal of Social and Economic Development - 24(1), Sep-Dec, 2022: p.179-193

This paper compares the performance of agriculture in the recent years (2004–05 to 2012–13) with the preceding decade and provides an update on the achievements of the agriculture sector in recent 10 years or so. It discusses, with evidence, how and when the turnaround in agriculture took place, for developing proper understanding of India’s agriculture growth story. We have tried to understand effect of varying growth rate in agriculture on producers by using farmer income as an indicator and on consumers by using nutrition level as the indicator. – Reproduced
