They must create some cooperative type agriculture like in europe.

Agriculture is the backbone of india.

The reason for farmers holding small plots of land is because of population.If a farmer splits 50 acres among his 5 sons,the sons cant afford to buy modern equipments for their 10 acre plots.

Things are changing for the better but it is too little too late.

Humans have farmed like this for thousands of years, and while its nice to have technology its easier said then done in the worlds poorest region.

This method of farming...still works.
