Notes on Land, Long Run Food Security and the Agrarian Crisis in India

Sheila Bhalla ()

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: These Notes are mainly about three interconnected themes; the international and Indian ‘take’ on control over land (and water); the distinction between an agricultural crisis and an agrarian crisis; and the link, in India, between declining land/man ratios and slowed and negative growth in agricultural worker productivity. There is a fourth theme also. It consists of an account of India’s ‘lost decade’ for agriculture and agricultural workers.
