Abstract
Higher Agricultural Education, Research and Technology
Highlights
How to alleviate the poverty from farming communities and how to balance the changing scenario in global stability are the twin issues that need breakthrough in agricultural education, research and technologies
The present paper aims at a conceptual framework to promote the higher education in agriculture and subsequent research options for technology generation in order to re-structure it in terms of productivity, safety, profitability and overall sustainability
Agricultural education often suffers from stereotypic course curriculum, wherein comprehensive learning is more or less far from the truth
Summary
Terrorism is spreading on soil, while urbanization, followed by expanding road and rail infrastructure, is shrinking the agricultural land area. Today’s lifestyle and high-tech economic race above the ground is challenging the global sustainability, while underground land comprising of the soil-root-biodiversity-water system suffers from acute threats to soil nutrient shortage and type specific degradation. Rapid population growth has made the shrinking land areas sparse resource followed by acute shortage of employability among youth. Under such changing scenario, education in general and in agriculture needs breakthrough to balance the overall agricultural promotion with subsequent changing modes in agricultural research and technology. Let agriculture be a powerful sector for gross rural happiness as well as employment generation through land use planning in a supply chain process mode.
