Improvement in Food resources
All living organisms need food to survive. Food supplies proteins,
carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, which we require for body
development, growth and health. The need for food is increasing with
the rapidly increasing population of India. We need sustainable
agricultural practices and animal husbandry as it is important to
increase food production without degrading the environment.
