Conventional tillage and burning crop residues has degraded the soil resource base and intensified soil degradation with concomitant decrease in crop production capacity. The emerging issue of global warming coupled with greenhouse gases emissions has further aggravated the scenario. Conservation agriculture helps in reducing many negative effects of conventional agriculture such as soil erosion, soil organic matter decline, water loss, soil physical degradation, and fuel use. Conservation Agriculture helps improve biodiversity in the natural and agro-ecosystems. Complemented by other good agricultural practices including the use of quality seeds, integrated pest, nutrient and water management, Conservation Agriculture provides a base for sustainable intensification of the agricultural production system. Moreover, the yield levels in Conservation Agriculture systems are higher than traditional intensive tillage systems with substantially less production costs.This book provides comprehensive understanding of the subject with topics related to climate change mitigation strategies, approaches and impact of conservation agriculture on natural resource management.This book is co-published with NIPA.

The use of conventional tillage and burning crop residues has led to the degradation of the soil resource base and intensified soil degradation, resulting in a decrease in crop production capacity. The exacerbating issue of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions has further compounded the problem. Conservation agriculture, on the other hand, has proven effective in mitigating the negative effects of conventional agriculture, such as soil erosion, soil organic matter decline, water loss, and soil physical degradation. Additionally, conservation agriculture promotes biodiversity in both natural and agro-ecosystems. By incorporating other good agricultural practices, such as the use of quality seeds and integrated pest, nutrient, and water management, conservation agriculture provides a solid foundation for sustainable intensification of the agricultural production system. Furthermore, yield levels in conservation agriculture systems are typically higher than those in traditional intensive tillage systems, with significantly lower production costs.This book offers a comprehensive exploration of climate change mitigation strategies, conservation agriculture approaches, and their impact on natural resource management.

This edited book focus on highlighting the evolution of Indian agriculture over the past 75 years of independence, covering every sector, viz. crop science, horticulture, management of biotic & abiotic stress, post-harvest quality management, livestock, fisheries, mechanization, marketing and human resource development. The book has 30 chapters from most experienced researchers and academicians who are actively engaged in research work on the subject area of the book.  The book is in line with the strategy for new India @ 75’ brought out by NITI Ayog. It highlights India’s success stories in innovation, technology, enterprise and efficient management together to achieve overall growth while making available food, required nutrition and others ecological services. It also asses the India’s preparedness in terms of commitment toward sustainable development goal SDG). The book is a relevant reading material for both students and researchers and policy makers.
