Agricultural economics originally applied the principles of economics to the production of crops and livestock-a discipline known as agronomics. Agronomics was a branch of economics that specifically dealt with land usage. it focused on maximizing the yield of crops while maintaining a good soil ecosystem. Throughout the 20th century, the discipline expanded and the current scope of the discipline is much broader. Agricultural economics today includes a variety of applied areas, having considerable overlap with conventional economics. Economics is the study of resource allocation under scarcity. Agronomics, or the application of economic methods to optimizing the decisions made by agricultural producers, grew to prominence around the turn of the 20th century. The book has been carefully compiled and edited to meet the long felt needs of increasingly large number of those who have to deal with the different aspects of applied statistics in agriculture. contents: introduction; Agricultural Policy; Evaluating and Classifying Land for irrigated Agriculture; Remote Sensing and Simulation Modeling for on-demand irrigation Systems Management; lnteraction between Nutrition and Agriculture in lndia; National income Statistics of lndia; integration of Agriculture in Urban Land Use Planning and Adaptation of City Regulations; The Challenge of integrating Environmental Requirements into the Common Agricultural Policy.
