This edited volume was one of the significant activities planned and organised as part of the Platinum Jubilee (2015) Conference of the Indian Society of Agricultural Economics (ISAE). Comprising 28 chapters including the Introduction, it presents scholarly works describing the vicissitudes and structural crisis which Indian agriculture is subject to in recent times and likely to encounter in the future—both in the short and the long run. The chapters are categorised into six broad development issues, namely, (i) structural transformation of agricultural sector, (ii) issues related to agricultural growth, (iii) agricultural policy and institutions, (iv) food security issues, (v) agricultural markets and prices, and (vi) natural resource management for agriculture. The array of topics covered in the volume would be found very useful by the researchers, students, teachers, scholars, policy makers besides other stakeholders in Indian agriculture.
