Sustainable Agriculture For Food, Bio-energy And Livelihood Security
The UN Millennium Goals towards sustainable Development includes food, bioenergy and livelihood as integral components and the most vital concern of our planet Earth. issues like production and supply of food for caloric and nutritional security for ever increasing population, biomass production for biofuels to meet energy needs of industry and households and generation of employment opportunities, both on farm and off farm for livelihood security have been focusing attention of policy planners and researchers globally. Also Land use for agriculture without jeopardizing natural resource base poses a formidable challenge to the agricultural scientists to device appropriate agriculture production technology to ensure sustainability of production systems and to harness favourable Linkages among productivity-profitability and sustainability. Undoubtedly the production advantages of improved agri-technology generated during last five decades have been realized mainly in assured in put favourable environments. However this has led to second generation problems like dwindling. natural resource base declining factor productivity, salinization and other soil health factors due to excessive use of agrochemicals and irrigation. Moreover much remains to be done to enhance crop production in stress prone fragile environments, both abiotic and biotic. These problems are further hotter and wetter regions may become drier and vice versa. This intermittent change in agri-ecology would necessitate infusing resilience in crops using genetic options and better agronomic management for damage control. Considering the above stated important facts, the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya(JNKVV) and Society for Sustainable Agriculture And resource Management (SSARM) jointly organized an international conference on sustainable Agriculture for food, bio-energy and livelihood security Research findings presented during the conference are presented in the from of a book. The prime objective of this publication, is to highlight the problems related to sustainability issues in agriculture and perspective approaches including genetic, management and technological options to mitigate these problems.
