A second Green Revolution, involving technical innovation, increased investment in agriculture and proper infrastructure for food processing can make India the "food basket of the world", Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jyotiraditya M. Scindia said on Sunday.
"Agriculture sector is critical for our economy as 60-70 per cent of our population is dependent on it for livelihood. We require 4.5 to 5 per cent growth in the farm sector to uplift our economy in rural areas," Scindia said at an award function organized by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (Apeda) here.
