Yield Income and Livelihood in Indian Farming: Conflict and Compliances

The sociology of Agriculture has now built up a strong kinship with ecology of agriculture; and in between there have been income, productivity and livelihood for myriad of farmers with ecology of agriculture with marginal land and fragile income. It is nearly difficult to drive the apparently conflicting issues of income, ecology, productivity and livelihood to form an organic orchestration of what we call sustainable agriculture. The present book entitled "Yield, Income and Livelihood in Indian Farming: Conflicts and Compliances" has delved deeper into this intricacies of inherent conflict and conciliations of these three fulcrums of Indian Farming. It has been examined that whether with a positive change in income in farming, a positive growth in livelihood generations has been followed. While examining yield behavior, it is also an imperative that both the issues of income and livelihood have been resolved positively. This book has been a result of empirical study and hard evidences generated thereafter. I hope, the book will offer a relook into our monolithic agriculture and rebuild a clandestine combination of yield, income, livelihood, which again can be extrapolated to combine ecological agenda and issues. Both for setting high end research on social ecology and Indian farming and promulgating effective policy framework both at macro and micro level.
