  • Conventional agriculture has caused economic problems associated with lower production of crops, increased costs of energy-based inputs and decreased farm incomes. It has also produced ecological problems on crop diversity, animals and poultry as well as soil and water pollution and soil erosion. The adoption of integrated farming systems involving lower external inputs, residue recycling and organic practices can alleviate economic and ecological problems. Alternatives to energy-based inputs, crop rotations, inter-cropping, use of organic matters, integrated crop, fertilizer, pests and weed management practices certainly impose larger dividends to farm income and employment. Besides this high-tech horticulture, pisciculture, dairy, poultry, mushroom culture, apiary and agroforestry can be made component of Integrated Farming Systems. Post harvest management practices will certainly add flavor and values to young farmers and farm women and bring new dimension to the thought process and check their migration from own village / cities to other states for employment and income. It is essential to integrate the components of agricultural systems fully so that the impacts of other inputs will be visible. Our knowledge and its interaction with secondary inputs must increase to minimize energy-based chemical inputs to produce good yields, increase farm profits and employment generation and decrease environmental problems. There is considerable scope for the development of protocols based on natural resources, ecology, community need in the present climate change scenario. So, interdisciplinary and farmers participatory approach are crucial consideration to achieve sustainable agriculture and development. This book focuses on different practices of Integrated Farming System in eastern-India and for scaling up the technology for community need. It provides a detailed account of principles, challenges and opportunities in simpler yet compact manner for better understanding of the researchers and policy makers.

  • Prof. Sankarsana Nanda: He born on 25th October, 1955 and obtained his M. Sc (Ag) in Agronomy during 1980 and Ph. D in Agriculture (Agronomy) during 1992 from Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar. He joined as Assistant Professor in Agronomy during 1984 and later on promoted to the rank of Professor during 1999. Presently, he holds the post of Dean of Extension Education and additional charge of Dean of Research in Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar. Prof. Nanda is a veteran scientist in the field of farming system research and quite reputed nationally and internationally. For the last 35 years or so, he devoted his work in various fields of agriculture and allied research such as agronomy of rice, sugarcane, forage crops, agroforestry as well as cropping system research and has authority in areas of crop production, natural resource management, ecosystem analysis and environment mitigation studies. He also contributed a lot for teaching and extension education particularly participatory research on technology transfer in agriculture and allied sector. His special contribution both on academic and professional, acclaims him as a Farming System Specialist for which he gave many invite lectures in UBKB(WB); UAS, Bangalore; IGKV, Raipur; IARI, New Delhi and IRRI, Philippines. He has published 135 research papers, 34 books, 06 edited books, two book chapters, 14 abstracts & 37 bulletins/ articles. Further, he has guided 09 Ph.D. students and 13 M.Sc.
