摘要
Rainfed agriculture in India is now facing a dilemma. Prime lands for rainfed agriculture, which are mostly with big fanners, are being gradually taken out of food crop cultivation for commercial cropping and even npn-arable systems. On the other hand, demand for food and oilseed crops are increasing due to rise in population. A large part of the available land with resource-poor farmers call ill-afford improved technologies. Thus higher demands mean cultivation of less suitable lands with lesser returns and greater risk of land degradation. To tackle the problem land users, at various levels, an to be made aware of the proper use of their land resources. Providing the alternative for sustainable land uses should follow proper evaluation of the land resources. The land users are to be encouraged to participate in the whole exercise of land inventorization and evolution of an action plan for proper use of their lands.
