"There is lot of confusion in alternative agricultural systems being promoted in India and elsewhere. Though, a large amount of valuable information is generated, it is very much scattered and becomes difficult to the readers to locate them under one roof. Hence, in this book an attempt has been made to compile and present the available information on sustainable agriculture under various chapters.
The book is sub-divided into nine chapters which starts with an introductory picture covering the scope, need and meaning of sustainable agriculture. It gives the readers a clean understanding of the definition of the term sustainable and its usage in a broadened horizon.
Owing to its systematic, indepth and critical arrangement of the valuable information, upon completing the book, the reader will have a feeling of an enrichment of his knowledge in the field of sustainable agriculture in its right perspective.
It is most useful for students of agriculture, teachers and research workers. In general the book could be used as a good reference source for those involved in the field of agriculture."
