: Agriculture, as a backdrop in India's economy, is critical because to its substantial percentage of job and livelihood generation. In India, agriculture's contribution to GDP is dropping while the number of people involved in agriculture and related activities remains high, creating worries about both land and labour productivity. Throughout history, technological innovations have had a significant impact on agriculture. So far, technological development in Indian agriculture has remained an unfinished undertaking. The influence of new technology varies according on crop and locale. Clearly, the progress made thus far has been limited and symbolic, and much more has to be done to appropriately promote and spread it. A necessary first step in this direction would be to examine the emerging trends and technologies in agricultural advancement, which is precisely the objective of this inquiry. The book provides an interesting narrative of technological advancement in agriculture by analyzing in depth technological method used. Also it gives all the details from emerging technology in advancement of Indian agriculture such as breeding methods and seed farming technologies in agricultural crops, plant cell and tissue culture techniques in crop improvement, remote sensing in agriculture, effects of genetically modified (GM) crops on modern agriculture, nano technology in agriculture, precision farming, emerging technologies for integrated pest management, pioneer methods of fruit production in modern horticulture, modern era remote sensing and GIS in horticulture sector: opportunities and challenges and impact of economic factors on nutritional diet. This book would certainly assume greater significance in creating database for realistic planning and implementation of future technological advancement in agriculture and would help in adding to existing store-house of knowledge concerning latest technology in agriculture and related issues. It would also guide readers in deriving insight in understanding many aspects relevant particularly to technological advancement in Indian agriculture.

This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.

The book brings out an encyclopaedic picture of the potential areas of transformative Indian agriculture through innovations in science, technology, institutional and policy affairs directed in building a self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat). The book has addressed the challenges to make India free from hunger, poverty and undernutrition, and suggested interventions with focus on all-inclusiveness and sustainability, peace and prosperity, and resilience to climate and other volatilities. Most of these propositions are analogous to the Sustainable Development Goals – Agenda 2030, which India has committed to achieve. The book especially covers critical needs for development on different fragile ecosystems such as coastal, desert, hill, ravine and other marginal ecosystems. The book will act as very useful guidance for the policy makers, and development communities, and a reference document to academicians as well.
