Opis

Never ever in the annals of human civilization, the importance of ecological resilience has become so important and imperative as we are perceiving now. Both the need and greed of food economics have driven the resource bases of our ecosystem, to a dilapidated and fragile status. By 2050 the world's population will touch close to 9.5 billion and we have to scale up our food production 60% more over what it is right now. In India by 2040, we have to cross 450 million tonnes of our targeted food production to keep rhythm with population growth. By 2035 we are going to cross the population of China.

The book uniquely and empirically estimated the following parameters in predicting resilience in agriculture: Uncertainty Index of Yield; Uncertainty index of income; Uncertainty index of crop.Uncertainty index of marketability; Uncertainty index of weather vulnerability Crop biodiversity index and I hope, for the present and incoming researchers, students and faculties across the will be benefitted while studying in the realm of ecological residence in agriculture and food security.
