- Latest and authentic overview of agriculture in India
- Discusses issues ranging from environment to culture, poverty, and subsidies
This volume provides an overview of Indian Agriculture comprehensively covering the diverse issues ranging from environment to culture and dealing with contemporary issues on poverty and subsidies. The contributors evaluate the state of Indian agriculture in relation with: state and central economic policies and their impact on the economic and societal environment.
It discusses the green revolution and its limited impact on productivity and environment which was restricted to certain agro-climatic zones. The volume discusses in detail the challenging tasks ahead for Indian agriculture to achieve food security at the individual
level and not only at national level. Contributors argue the growth needs to increase for which focus needs to be shifted to all regions and crops in the context of globalization. The benefits need to be more fairly distributed.Readership: Students, researchers, and teachers in development economics and agriculture; policymakers, economists, NGOs, and aid institutions dealing with environmental issues, rural poverty, food security, and migration.
