In the present scenario, the basic concept of agricultural development is aimed at full exploitation of natural resources for human needs on sustainable basis for longer period of time. This concept needs a thorough review in 21st century with multitude of problems emerging at every front. In the name of satisfying the human needs, the reckless practices being followed for quite some time have become detrimental to the agro-ecosystem in the modern agriculture. The emphasis has been on producing more with scant regard for agro-ecosystem. It is now realized that the damage to the agro-ecosystem is causing irreversible adverse impact on the agricultural production systems in many parts of the world. The newer agricultural systems to feed the growing population without affecting the sustainability aspects in the 21st century need to be developed with utmost care and consideration.

In the present book, the editors have endeavored to put together all the related information to address the above challenges of the global agriculture and the strategies tackle them. Through 26 chapters contributed by the experts in their field related to crop production, animal husbandry, biodiversity conservation, resource conservation technologies (RCTs), horticulture, biotechnology etc. in this book, an effort has been made to give the readers an up-to-date information at one place.
