How the socio-economic scenarios are changing and how they are impacting the agricultural environment around them? The author also suggests a VINNOVATION INDEX, which measures the level of adoption / rejection of innovations by the people. This helps understand the adoption / rejection patterns for an innovation more clearly. The book explores the yield changes,, crop patterns and alternative ways of earning by farmers of the area.
