ABSTRACT
The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations has alerted developing countries about possible steep rises in food prices during 2011, if steps are not taken immediately to significantly increase the production of major food crops. The major emphasis of the National Policy for Farmers is imparting an income orientation to agriculture through both higher productivity per units of land, water and nutrients, and assured and remunerative marketing opportunities. The goal of food for all can be achieved only if there is similar enthusiastic participation by farm families. In addition to over 250 million tonnes of foodgrains, authors will soon be producing over 300 million tonnes of fruits and vegetables. The Ganges Water Machine is capable of helping the authors to increase food production considerably, provided they utilise groundwater efficiently during rabi and replenish the aquifer during kharif.
