"Agricultural diversification is the urgent need of India particularly in the phase of globalisation. Globalisation has made the world very small. It has created very competitive atmosphere in various sectors of economy. In that context the Indian agriculture also has to face the challenges of different types of problems today, particularly, due to the tasks led by the globalisation.
This book will be very informative for the researchers, the agriculture scientists, the teachers and students. The agricultural sector of India, particularly, the backward regions of eastern and north-eastern India may be benefited by adopting measures mentioned in this book." (jacket)
