Abstract:
The world population is rising rapidly over the growth of food grains and as a consequence food crisis
arises.
There are now more than a billion malnourished people in the world meaning that almost one
sixth of humanity is suffering from hunger.
Fertility of land has been reduced due to over exploitation,
excessive use of chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides.
Due to indiscriminate deforestation
the amount of rainfall reduces and land erosion takes place.
