&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Declining income, shrinking farmlands, rise in number of dependents on existing holdings add to farm woes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bengaluru: &lt;/em&gt;Since 2000, Karnataka has put nearly 200,000 hectares of farmland to non-agricultural use, including for industrial, residential and infrastructure projects. Besides shrinking farmlands, the number of dependents on existing land holdings have also increased considering little employment opportunities elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1.312 million hectares in 2000-01 (cumulative), the total land put to non-agricultural use has risen to 1.495 million hectares (cumulative) in 2016-17, according to state government data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Land is often acquired for developmental projects across the country, but experts say the conversion of productive land parcels is a bigger cause for concern. Fallow land has increased from 1.775 million hectares in 2000-01 to 2.253 million hectares in 2016-17 in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A significant amount of land is being lost due to increase in salinity and persistent drought, making it untenable for farmers to continue cultivating it, said Prakash Kammardi, a farm expert and chairman of the Karnataka Agriculture Price Commission. This forces farmers to sell the land to real estate developers, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state has had at least 14 drought years since 2000. In fact, at least 100 talukas were declared drought-affected in 2018 as well, due to poor spread of the southwest monsoon and almost 50% deficient rains during the northeast monsoon cycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Persistent droughts across the country have prompted several state governments to announce short-term measures such as farm loan waivers, which are aimed more at reaping rich political dividends than reviving the sagging agricultural economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The promise of a waiver contributed to the Congress winning elections in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. The party is now putting pressure on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the centre to waive all farm loans across the country. Congress president Rahul Gandhi&amp;rsquo;s statement that the party will continue to urge Modi to waive farm loans is apparently aimed at earning the backing of the farming community that is facing deepening agrarian distress, especially over minimum support prices (MSPs) for their produce. &lt;br /&gt;

Besides shrinking farmlands, the number of dependents on existing land holdings have also increased considering little employment opportunities elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 1.312 million hectares in 2000-01 (cumulative), the total land put to non-agricultural use has risen to 1.495 million hectares (cumulative) in 2016-17, according to state government data.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Land is often acquired for developmental projects across the country, but experts say the conversion of productive land parcels is a bigger cause for concern. Fallow land has increased from 1.775 million hectares in 2000-01 to 2.253 million hectares in 2016-17 in the state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A significant amount of land is being lost due to increase in salinity and persistent drought, making it untenable for farmers to continue cultivating it, said Prakash Kammardi, a farm expert and chairman of the Karnataka Agriculture Price Commission. This forces farmers to sell the land to real estate developers, he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state has had at least 14 drought years since 2000. In fact, at least 100 talukas were declared drought-affected in 2018 as well, due to poor spread of the southwest monsoon and almost 50% deficient rains during the northeast monsoon cycle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Persistent droughts across the country have prompted several state governments to announce short-term measures such as farm loan waivers, which are aimed more at reaping rich political dividends than reviving the sagging agricultural economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The promise of a waiver contributed to the Congress winning elections in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. The party is now putting pressure on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the centre to waive all farm loans across the country. Congress president Rahul Gandhi&amp;rsquo;s statement that the party will continue to urge Modi to waive farm loans is apparently aimed at earning the backing of the farming community that is facing deepening agrarian distress, especially over minimum support prices (MSPs) for their produce. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.livemint.com/Politics/PDJs7IPIrgzPnvl2PAN70K/Conversion-of-farmland-sowing-seeds-of-resentment-in-Karnata.html&quot; title=&quot;https://www.livemint.com/Politics/PDJs7IPIrgzPnvl2PAN70K/Conversion-of-farmland-sowing-seeds-of-resentment-in-Karnata.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;Declining income, shrinking farmlands, rise in number of dependents on existing holdings add to farm woes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bengaluru: &lt;/em&gt;Since 2000, Karnataka has put nearly 200,000 hectares of farmland to non-agricultural use, including for industrial, residential and infrastructure projects. Besides shrinking farmlands, the number of dependents on existing land holdings have also increased considering little employment opportunities elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1.312 million hectares in 2000-01 (cumulative), the total land put to non-agricultural use has risen to 1.495 million hectares (cumulative) in 2016-17, according to state government data.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Declining income, shrinking farmlands, rise in number of dependents on existing holdings add to farm woes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bengaluru: &lt;/em&gt;Since 2000, Karnataka has put nearly 200,000 hectares of farmland to non-agricultural use, including for industrial, residential and infrastructure projects. Besides shrinking farmlands, the number of dependents on existing land holdings have also increased considering little employment opportunities elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From 1.312 million hectares in 2000-01 (cumulative), the total land put to non-agricultural use has risen to 1.495 million hectares (cumulative) in 2016-17, according to state government data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Land is often acquired for developmental projects across the country, but experts say the conversion of productive land parcels is a bigger cause for concern. Fallow land has increased from 1.775 million hectares in 2000-01 to 2.253 million hectares in 2016-17 in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A significant amount of land is being lost due to increase in salinity and persistent drought, making it untenable for farmers to continue cultivating it, said Prakash Kammardi, a farm expert and chairman of the Karnataka Agriculture Price Commission. This forces farmers to sell the land to real estate developers, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The state has had at least 14 drought years since 2000. In fact, at least 100 talukas were declared drought-affected in 2018 as well, due to poor spread of the southwest monsoon and almost 50% deficient rains during the northeast monsoon cycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Persistent droughts across the country have prompted several state governments to announce short-term measures such as farm loan waivers, which are aimed more at reaping rich political dividends than reviving the sagging agricultural economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The promise of a waiver contributed to the Congress winning elections in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. The party is now putting pressure on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the centre to waive all farm loans across the country.

Bengaluru: </em>Since 2000, Karnataka has put nearly 200,000 hectares of farmland to non-agricultural use, including for industrial, residential and infrastructure projects. Besides shrinking farmlands, the number of dependents on existing land holdings have also increased considering little employment opportunities elsewhere.<br />
