Evolution of Agriculture:

About 10,000 years ago Goats, sheep, and chickens were among the earliest animals to be domesticated. In the 15th and 16th centuries, a period of discovery introduced new varieties of plants and agricultural products. From Asia coffee, tea, and indigo, and from America potatoes, tomatoes, corn, beans, peanuts, and tobacco. During the 1950s and 60s scientists, developed new strains of high-yield wheat and rice. They introduced them into Mexico and part of Asia. India since the Indus valley civilization is known for agriculture, the first evidence of growing cotton was found here. Rice and Barley were also produced. Middle age saw irrigation channels, and land and water management systems with the aim to provide uniform growth. There was slight stagnation during the modern period. After independence, During the First five-year plan India invested in all sectors equally to know what we are good at. It was concluded that Agriculture is India’s strength and it will grow on its own but the major increase in production happened due to an increase in land areas.  Growth came down when India had massive drought and famine and all the money was invested in 2nd five-year industrial plan and lost in war. India’s economy got crumbled and the country was on verge of a hunger crisis in 1964.
