Description

This reference identifies knowledge gaps, defines priorities, and formulates recommendations for the improvement of the rice-wheat farming system. It discusses new systems of rice intensification and management while using case studies to illustrate the application of no-till and conservation farming to the rice-wheat system. Chapters specifically address topics like food security, obstacles to no-till farming, applications of no-till farming in South Asia, adaptations of no-till methods, social and economic issues, and networking and international cooperation.
