The present study analyses the income, saving and saving gap among agricultural households (HHs) to understand their investment behaviour, using the data obtained from the NABARD All India Rural Financial Inclusion Survey (NAFIS) 2016-17, which wa
Time management governs climate resilience and productivity in the coupled rice–wheat cropping systems of eastern India
India will need to produce 30% more wheat by 2050, and these gains must principally come from intensification in eastern India where low productivity is common.
This paper analyzes the correlation of irrigation investments among agricultural households across India’s 20 major states with irrigation governance and agricultural productivity.
Low and variable yields of wheat in the rice--wheat cropping systems of lower Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) of South Asia, covering Bihar and Eastern Uttar Pradesh (EUP) in India and the Terai region of Nepal, are a matter of significant concern for

Sticky seeds: Why old seeds continue to dominate the rice-wheat agriculture in Eastern India

States in the Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP) of India have rich and stable groundwater endowments.
Cluster-based aquaculture growth
As shown in Chapter 3, fish production appears to be largely clustered and the number of fish farmers, feed traders, and fish traders have all experienced rapid growth since 2008, roughly in the same magnitude.
Value chain transformation
The majority of literature on aquaculture in Bangladesh focuses on “microsocioeconomics” and “value chains” (VCs) and tends to have a static perspective.
