Recent trends suggest that India might very well be at the "tipping point" of the transition in its agriculture dependent population. A large proportion of youth in the countryside is on their way out of agriculture. Rising disenchantment with the profession pushes them out of agriculture while opportunities in other sectors of the booming economy pull them out of agriculture. This is suggested by this study which attempts to identify the drivers of this process of withdrawal and assess the odds of an average farmers’ move out of agriculture. [IWMI].
