Routledge Indian Agriculture after the Green Revolution Book

Explore the dramatic shift in India's agricultural landscape with this detailed study from Routledge. This book tracks the transformation of a nation that moved from chronic food shortages to becoming food-grain self-sufficient during the 1968-1978 decade thanks to the Green Revolution. While the Green Revolution brought massive achievements, this text examines the subsequent challenges that emerged in later years. It analyzes the period between 1995 and 2005, a time marked by severe stress within the agriculture sector and a rise in farmer suicides across various parts of the country. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how the successes of the Green Revolution evolved into a complex agrarian crisis. The book provides a balanced look at these systemic pressures while also highlighting the underlying resilience found within the sector. This is an essential resource for anyone studying economic history, modern world economies, or the social and economic shifts in Indian agriculture.
