Abstract:

Every era has its challenges, and each challenge demands specific responses. In the 1960s, famine threatened South Asia. The Green Revolution was the right answer to the looming food crisis that the world faced half a century ago. Today about 842 million people remain chronically hungry because they cannot afford to eat adequately, (UNESCO 2013) despite the fact that the world is no longer short of food. In a disconcerting paradox, more than 70 percent of the world�??s food-insecure people live in rural areas in developing countries (FAO 2013). Many of them are low-paid farm laborers or subsistence producers who may have difficulty in meeting their families�?? food needs. Hence, the quest is now to find farming systems that are truly sustainable and inclusive and that support increased access for the poor so that we can meet the world�??s future food needs. As we look towards 2050 to meet food security in India and globally, there is solution of �?� Single Window System�?� (Reaching the Unreached). Single Window system is the three tire structure where we made a step ahead to meet the needs small and marginal farmers. The first apex body is central agriculture government (DAC, DAHD & F, DARE), other central or state hold government agriculture organizations run under the apex body holds as a second tier and at last �??single window�?� is third tier of the system. Introduction of family farming and climate smart agriculture are the two utmost important objective of this system. The system includes establishment of single windows in village area through private entrepreneur as a forward linkage to Government Agriculture organizations. Development of system will provide employment to about a 10 lakh people/youths in India. The system will be the solution for increasing fragmentation, natural resource degradation, enhancing resource-use efficiency, access to quality inputs, small farm mechanization, enhanced energy usage, post-harvest management, farmer to agripreneur, technology dissemination, and linking farmers with markets.
