Abstract
As an aftermath of green revolution, agriculture today is facing multiple problems of shrinking cultivable area, declining water table, global climate change, loss of soil productivity, pollution of land and water resources at macro level and decline in factor productivity and soil fertility, development of herbicide resistance and pest resurgence, thus unsustainability in productivity and farm income at micro level. This chapter has highlighted the need for adoption of nonmonetary or low monetary inputs and sustainable practices such as optimum sowing window; crop geometry; demand-driven planting methods; crop diversification; water-saving micro-irrigation methods; use of nanoparticles for enhancing nutrient use efficiency; integrated nutrient, pest, disease and weed management options; and location-specific organic farming strategies to make agriculture a profitable enterprise.
