Changes and Challenges

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From a country plagued with chronic food shortage, the Green Revolution turned India into a food-grain self-sufficient nation within a span of just one decade from 1968 to 1978. India, like the rest of the world, will have to deal with uncertainties to be accentuated by climate change. New technological breakthroughs may open up opportunities for the sector but are likely to pose new challenges too.

The book provides a comprehensive discussion of the different aspects of these changes and challenges since the Green Revolution. It also looks at how Indian farmers and policymakers are responding to the challenges.
