Farming System and Sustainable Agriculture explores the integrated approaches and scientific principles that ensure long-term agricultural productivity while conserving natural resources and protecting the environment. Tailored for students of agriculture, agronomy, and allied sciences, the book blends traditional farming wisdom with modern sustainable practices.
The text begins with the concept and classification of farming systems, analyzing their role in resource utilization, livelihood security, and rural development. It highlights the importance of cropping systems, mixed farming, crop–livestock integration, agroforestry, and organic farming in building resilient production systems.
A major focus is placed on sustainability dimensions—economic viability, ecological soundness, and social acceptability. Topics such as soil health management, water-use efficiency, integrated nutrient management (INM), integrated pest management (IPM), crop diversification, and conservation agriculture are thoroughly discussed.
The book also addresses modern approaches, including precision farming, protected cultivation, climate-smart agriculture, and the use of ICT tools for farm decision-making. Emerging challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainable intensification are analyzed with practical case studies and real-world examples.
Illustrated with diagrams, tables, and practical exercises, this book provides a clear framework for understanding how farming systems can be designed and managed for food security, farmer livelihoods, and environmental sustainability.
By linking scientific theory with field application, Farming System and Sustainable Agriculture serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, extension workers, and policymakers engaged in the transformation of agriculture toward a sustainable future.
