What to Focus On

  • Agriculture includes crops, livestock and allied activities.
  • The primary sector uses natural resources directly.
  • Agriculture, forestry, fishing and mining are part of the primary sector.
  • Agriculture is the main source of livelihood for many people.
  • Agriculture still employs around 42% of the workforce.
  • Its share in national income has fallen because other sectors have grown faster.
  • Population pressure has fragmented land holdings.
  • Indian farming depends heavily on monsoon rains.
  • Only 40% of agricultural land has permanent irrigation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A fall in agriculture’s share in national income means agricultural production has fallen.

Agriculture is only crop cultivation, so livestock, fishery, dairying, and other allied work are not part of it.

The primary sector is mainly the same as the secondary or tertiary sector because all sectors involve economic activity.
