The book brings out an encyclopaedic picture of the potential areas of transformative Indian agriculture through innovations in science, technology, institutional and policy affairs directed in building a self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat). The book has addressed the challenges to make India free from hunger, poverty and undernutrition, and suggested interventions with focus on all-inclusiveness and sustainability, peace and prosperity, and resilience to climate and other volatilities. Most of these propositions are analogous to the Sustainable Development Goals – Agenda 2030, which India has committed to achieve. The book especially covers critical needs for development on different fragile ecosystems such as coastal, desert, hill, ravine and other marginal ecosystems. The book will act as very useful guidance for the policy makers, and development communities, and a reference document to academicians as well.Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This title is co-published with NIPA.

The book presents a comprehensive overview of the potential areas for transformative Indian agriculture, focusing on innovations in science, technology, institutional, and policy affairs, with the goal of building a self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat). It addresses the challenges of eradicating hunger, poverty, and undernutrition, and offers interventions that prioritize inclusivity, sustainability, peace, and prosperity, as well as resilience to climate and other uncertainties. The books 36 chapters cover a range of priority areas, including: accelerated and sustainable agricultural production, doubling farmers income through diversification and market linkages, promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging innovations in science and technology, managing value chains and preventing post-harvest losses, ensuring remunerative prices and market reforms, implementing climate-smart agriculture, developing secondary agriculture, securing water resources, improving soil health, managing crop health and pests, adopting agro-biodiversity, investing in renewable energy, utilizing Artificial Intelligence, and creating a knowledge platform to transform India. Additionally, the book addresses critical development needs in fragile ecosystems such as coastal, desert, hill, and marginal ecosystems, and provides policy options and pathways for transforming Indian agriculture to achieve Atmanirbhar Bharat. The book serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, development communities, and academicians.
