This open access book provides an evidence-based roadmap for revitalising Indian agriculture while ensuring that the growth process is efficient, inclusive, and sustainable, and results in sustained growth of farmers’ incomes. The book, instead of looking for global best practices and evaluating them to assess the possibility of replicating these domestically, looks inward at the best practices and experiences within Indian states, to answer questions such as -- how the agricultural growth process can be speeded up and made more inclusive, and financially viable; are there any best practices that can be studied and replicated to bring about faster growth in agriculture; does the prior hypothesis that rapid agricultural growth can alleviate poverty faster, reduce malnutrition, and augment farmers’ incomes stand? To answer these questions, the book follows four broad threads -- i) Linkage between agricultural performance, poverty and malnutrition; ii) Analysing the historical growth performance of agricultural sector in selected Indian states; iii) Will higher agricultural GDP necessarily result in higher incomes for farmers; iv) Analysing the current agricultural policy environment to evaluate its efficiency and efficacy, and consolidate all analysis to create a roadmap. These are discussed in 12 chapters, which provide a building block for the concluding chapter that presents a roadmap for revitalising Indian agriculture while ensuring growth in farmers’ incomes.

Substantial increases in agricultural investments in developing countries are needed to combat poverty and realize food security and nutrition goals. There is evidence that agricultural investments can generate a wide range of developmental benefits, but these benefits cannot be expected to arise automatically and some forms of large-scale investment carry risks for host countries. Although there has been much debate about the potential benefits and risks of international investment, there is no systematic evidence on the actual impacts on the host country and their determinants. In order to acquire an in-depth understanding of potential benefits, constraints and costs of foreign investment in agriculture and of the business models that are more conducive to development, FAO has undertaken research in developing countries.This publication summarizes the results of this research, in particular through the presentation of the main findings of case studies in nine developing countries. It presents case studies on policies to attract foreign investment in agriculture and their impacts on national economic development in selected countries in Africa, Asian and Latin America.

This book examines the Recent Trends and Patterns of Agricultural Credit in India during the Post-reforms period, one of the defining aspects of the current phase of globalization and economic reforms is the increased threat to the livelihoods of small farmers in developing countries. There are instances of this across the developing world, from 1998 until the present; thousands of small farmers have committed suicide in India. For the proper functioning of an agriculture system farmers need to use many inputs. One among them is credit. It is considered as an important part in the development of agriculture. The study is exclusively based on secondary data. The data have been collected from various issues of Report on Currency and Finance (RBI), Banking Statistics (RBI), Report on Trends and Progress in Banking in India (RBI), RBI Bulletin (RBI), NABARD, various rounds of NSSO, Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), Statistical Outline of India (Tata Services Ltd.) and Economic Survey (Government of India). The main objective of this book is to provide students and instructor with clear, up-to- date and sample and straight forward approach to learn about agricultural credit. It may helpful for research all. I appreciate to all the people who and thanks is diversity or indirectly involved to help and publish this book.
