Poverty continues to persist in many countries throughout the world
despite the improvements in the global trade regime and significant
enhancement in agricultural productivity through the green
revolution technologies. To achieve the millennium goal of halving
poverty by 2015, these people should be provided with alternative
production opportunities that can generate new employment and
enhance incomes. Data from several countries reviewed in this study
confirm that agricultural diversification can contribute to this.
In a scenario of shrinking land and depleting water resources, the
challenge of the new millennium is to increase biological yields to
feed the ever-growing population without destroying the ecological
foundation. It is thus important not to package this challenge as a
demand or imposition on farmers, for which they would bear the
cost, but as a necessity and methodology to also sustain their
welfare. This book deals with different practices in agriculture
diversification. Care has been taken to include applied aspects and
present scenarios of different practices necessary for
diversification of the agriculture. The book will be of use to
students, researchers and progressive farmers.
