The productivity of crops can be significantly hindered by a multitude of adverse environmental and soil conditions. Among these, drought and soil salinity are the most prevalent stressors. Given the limited availability of arable land and the persistent pressure of a growing population in many developing countries, it is crucial that crop yields are not compromised on any cultivable land. Developing crop varieties that are resistant to drought and salinity stress is therefore of great importance. However, several challenges have limited the exploitation of genetic resistance, including the lack of (i) clear definitions of the level of stress that affects crop productivity, (ii) reliable screening procedures for identifying genotypes that exhibit stability of performance under stress conditions, and (iii) a thorough understanding of the processes that directly and indirectly contribute to resistance. This book provides a comprehensive overview of drought and salinity stress, addressing these challenges and offering valuable insights for students and researchers in the field of crop breeding and stress resistance. The author, a leading expert in the field, has contributed extensive knowledge and practical experience to this publication. This book serves as an essential reference for anyone seeking to improve their understanding of drought and salinity stress and breeding approaches for achieving resistance to these stressors.

Indian agriculture has been characterized by a significant degree of uncertainty, encompassing a range of factors such as climate change, fluctuating productivity, unpredictable market prices, escalating costs of cultivation, and diminishing returns. These uncertainties are inherent in complex systems where numerous contributory factors are either unpredictable or unfathomable. The higher the complexity, the lower the resilience, and the greater the uncertainty. The Indian agricultural production system, particularly in rain-fed, open-air conditions that are susceptible to numerous risks and uncertainties, is highly vulnerable to weather and resource unpredictability, market volatility, limited access to technology, and an unstable input delivery mechanism.Indian agriculture is currently facing a crossroads, as it grapples with the unpredictability and uncertainty of its environment. The growth rate of food production is only marginally higher than the population growth rate. The book under consideration has uniquely addressed a range of perceived uncertainties that contribute to stress and risk for both farmers and the economy as a whole.It is worth noting that the worlds largest agrarian economy is largely managed by private landowners, who are often at the mercy of middlemen and the vagaries of weather. Furthermore, the book, which is based on an empirical study, has identified the key variables that influence farmers responses to and compliance with the unpredictability and social dynamics of their environment.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 with a total of 17 objectives to be achieved by 2030, primarily aim to ensure the well-being of all people, particularly those in rural areas who are experiencing accelerated marginalization. The goal of ensuring happiness has become increasingly important as a result. In order to attain happiness for disadvantaged communities, it is crucial to provide a guaranteed income, basic health and hygiene, minimal education, and social security. Happiness is a universal aspiration and every farmer in India desires it.However, farmers in India are often portrayed as mere food producers who work for wages or income. Unfortunately, wages and income for small and marginal farmers are unpredictable, making it challenging for them to achieve a happy and prosperous life. The Indian farming sector is under constant stress due to unpredictable markets and fragile income, which makes it difficult for farmers to lead a happy life. Indias position on the global happiness index is close to the bottom.This book examines the conceptual heterogeneity of happiness and its importance for the physical and mental well-being of farmers. The well-being of farmers is crucial for sustaining food security and economic growth. The book is fascinating and insightful, providing a comprehensive analysis of the causes and consequences of farmers unhappiness. Through a large sample of farmer respondents, the book examines their level of happiness and provides compelling evidence to support its arguments.
