The promotion of alternative agricultural systems in India and other countries has caused significant confusion. Despite this, a vast amount of valuable information has been generated, which is scattered and difficult for readers to locate in one place. To address this issue, this book compiles and presents information on sustainable agriculture across various chapters. The book is divided into nine sections, beginning with an introductory chapter that covers the scope, need, and meaning of sustainable agriculture. This chapter provides readers with a clear understanding of the terms definition and its broader applications. The books systematic, in-depth, and critical organization of valuable information will leave readers with a sense of enriched knowledge in the field of sustainable agriculture, viewed in its proper perspective upon completion.
