Type: book
Abstract: Indian Agriculture: Sustainability, Resilience and Development presents a clear and integrated understanding of the changing nature of Indian agriculture. The book links India's agrarian history and regional diversity with present-day challenges such as climate change, water stress, soil degradation and market uncertainty. It discusses sustainable farming practices, water and soil management, digital technologies, policy initiatives and institutional reforms in a balanced and accessible manner. Special attention is given to food systems, nutrition transition and the role of women in shaping household nutrition and well-being. Rich case studies from different regions illustrate how community action and state-led initiatives can restore ecosystems while strengthening rural livelihoods. The volume comprises 17 chapters organised into six thematic parts and is supported by well-designed figures, tables, a glossary and further readings, making it a valuable resource for students, teachers, researchers, policymakers and development practitioners.
