The 2nd Green Revolution has to include a lot of technology and methods. A farming operation is a multi-input and multi-output system and it requires optimization so that the inputs can be minimized and targeted outputs can be maximized for each farm. Some farmers do well while others do less well in the same region and for the same crops. The causes can be diagnosed by applying Statistical Process Control charts, just as manufacturing benefited from such techniques. Land is a resource needed direly by various economic sectors and therefore it should be seen as a resource allocation problem and the land owner should be allowed to use his land to gain maximum value from it.

Urban wet waste is due to waste from food scraps like vegetable peelings. These should be returned to the land as raw material for organic manure. Thus, Swatch Bharat program should be linked to the agricultural product logistics. Indian Railways focuses only on the big stations. They should stop at every rural road crossing and pick up local produce for transport to urban centers. For this to happen, Indian Railways should develop appropriate freight handling and transportation equipment.

Retired professionals should be welcomed and incentivized to settle in villages so that they bring educated and skilled resources and economic spending power to rural areas. Agriculture reforms should be multi-colored.
