| Summary, etc | "This book examines conservation agriculture in India, discussing the current situation, levels of adoption, management practices and the future outlook of conservation agriculture in India, but also in other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. While conservation agriculture is proposed as an important means to combat climate change, improve crop productivity, food affordability and to protect the environment, the adoption of conservation agriculture in India, and south-east Asia more broadly, has been slow. This volume reflects on the current status of conservation agriculture in India, asking why adoption has been slow and putting forward strategies to improve uptake. Chapters cover the various aspects of crop management such as soil, water, nutrients, weeds, crop residues, machinery and energy, in a range of environments, including irrigated and rainfed regions. The impact of climate change and the economic considerations behind adoption of conservation agriculture are also discussed. The volume concludes by discussing the future outlook for conservation agriculture in India, in particular drawing out parallels with other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of conservation agriculture, sustainable agriculture, crop and soil management, and environmental and natural resource management more broadly"-- |
