Detailed Solution

Agriculture is a primary activity.
In our nation, agriculture has always been an important economic sector. India is a significant agricultural nation. Its population is primarily farmers, at two-thirds. Most of the food we consume is produced through the primary agriculture industry. It also generates raw materials for many industries and food grains. Cultivation techniques have undergone tremendous change depending on the qualities of the physical environment, technical advancements, and socio-cultural traditions over the years—the types of farming range from subsistence to commercial. A small portion of India still has farmers. Small plots of land are used for basic subsistence agriculture, carried out through family/community labour and implements like the hoe, dao, and digging sticks.
