Indian Agriculture: Performance, growth and challenges. Essays in honour of Ramesh Kumar Sharma

Editat de Parmod Kumar, S. Mohanakumar
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 feb 2016
This volume examines the transitions in Indian agriculture since the 1980s, and emphasizes upon the role of neoliberal policies and their impact. The essays presented here deal with a range of pertinent and contemporary issues, including global food security, livelihoods of agricultural labourers, and public and private investment. These weave together glimpses of the impasse faced by petty commodity producers (marginal and small farmers) and their subsequent economic distress and social exclusion. Comprehensive in analysis, this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of agricultural economics, political economy, political science and public policy.
