SUSTAINABILITY OF SMALL FARMS IN COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS

According to Dr. Swaminathan evergreen revolution would be triggered by farming system that can help produce more than the available land, water and labour resources without ecological and social harm. The book tries to analyse different dimensions of small farm units, agro-economic scenario, small farm production systems, organic farming, perception of small farm operators, adoption of technology, extension approach and strategy focusing attention on coastal ecosystems. The book contains enough inputs for research and extension workers to look into small farms and their owners in view of changing scenario of our farming system. However, the book would serve as foundation to provide encouragement to the scientists and extension researchers to focus more on small farm units.
