The  problem

The agriculture sector has been growing at an average of less than 2 per cent per annum. There is a need for a high growth in this sector: the industrial and the services sectors register double digit growth and have been contributing to the lion's share of economic growth and richly to the prosperity of those engaged in these sectors. India has been shining brightly for these.Small landholdings coupled with the lack of scientific agriculture management practices result in prodictivity levels that are 1/5th - 1/10th of farms in US and Israel.
 
Sadly agriculture’s contribution to GDP growth has been marginal even in good years of production. But, this sector impacts on nearly two-thirds the rural population. Thus, high economic growth has no great meaning to these.

The  solution
 
ACMF suggests a target to produce 500 million tonnes of food by 2020.This would help India meet all her needs, build a comfortable buffer plus generate surpluses that would help earn export income of around $75 billion.

The Krishi Shashti plan of ACMF suggests a simple six point plan that would help trigger a quantum jump in productivity. At the demonstration plot at Somangalam, 25km south west of Chennai, ACMF has registered a five'fold increase in productivity of select crops like corn and black gram.
 
ACMF plans to set up more such demo farms.ACMF believes agriculture development and rural prosperity are the concern of every leader interested in India's inclusive growth. Thus, we have brought together some of the tallest Indians to work on the ACMF mission.
