N2  - Summary:
"Divided into three parts - Rationale and extent of agricultural diversification, Nature and problems of agricultural diversification and Food and livelihood security through agricultural diversification, this edited book examines various aspects of agricultural diversification in Eastern India.
In recent years, Indian agriculture has been diversifying from cereals to high-value crops and livestock products in accordance with the changing consumption patterns. As such, it faces the challenges of a new economic regime, besides the usual problems of rising population, unemployment and poverty, declining investments in the agriculture sector and degradation of natural resources. These issues are discussed in the book in light of the significant transformation in the economic structure of the Indian economy from agriculture to non-agriculture (industry and services) and changing cropping pattern from cereals to non-cereals, in accordance with the changing consumption pattern.
