WORLD AFTER COVID19 : A ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURE AFTER COVID19

Abstract

„Agriculture is considered as the most Healthful and useful Nobel professions for man‟- very rightly said by George Washington. There is no surprise that farmers and farming activities are given a sacred status even in the modern times. It has always been the backbone of the economy, even till now. Amidst the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic outbreak the Global Economic Growth predicted by the IMF director is near to negative for the current year, and the increment can only be plausible next year. Nehru Ji once said, “Everything can wait except Agriculture”. Although FAO has warned of an upcoming food crisis globally due to a shift in demand and supply for food and declogging of food still remains an option to be explored for the vulnerable parts. An onset of wave of food nationalism would disrupt the nature of agricultural trade flows too. This pandemic has affected all walks of life, no sector is left unrelieved from its impact and agriculture is one of them on which our survival is mainly dependent for fulfilling our basic necessities.
