India Has The Second Largest Concentration Of Tribal Population In The World. As Per 2001 Population Census, Tribals Constitute About 8 Per Cent Of The Total Population Of The Country. Although The Technological Breakthrough As Such In Indian Agriculture Is No Longer A New Phenomenon, Yet It Has Got A Significant Relevance Particularly For The Regions, Which Are Still Lying In The Embryonic Stage Of Agricultural Development. Tribal Dominated Regions Have Not Yet Been Able To Benefit From The Fruits Of Technological Innovation. The Present Book Attempts To Examine The Determinants Of The Adoption Of New Agricultural Technology And Impact Of The Adoption Of New Agricultural Technology On Productivity, Employment, Income And Consumption Expenditure Of Tribal And Non-Tribal Farmers In A Tribal Block Of Maharashtra State. This Book Also Makes Some Important Suggestions For Promoting The Adoption Of New Agricultural Practices By Tribal Farmers In The Study Area.

Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for the overwhelming majority of the tribal population in India. Agricultural modernization has since long been introduced in the tribal areas of West Bengal, primarily with a view to raise the level of income, standard of living and lifestyle of the tribal people. The present book meant for elucidating the impact as well as adoption of modernization on tribal agriculture. The author has made a critical review of the agricultural modernization and mechanization and also the tradition of tribal agriculture. The author studied empirically the extent and nature of adoption of modern agricultural technology by the Santals and subsequently its impact on the lifestyle of the people in the locality. The obstacles or social-cultural constraints of the Santals towards the adoption of the modern agricultural technology have also been taken into consideration. Social, cultural and economic problems of the Santals have also been studied in connection with the agricultural modernization. The author estimated the maximum return over variable cost from existing cropping pattern followed by the Santals and suggested some appropriate measures to maximize net return by adopting alternative systems of cropping pattern. A close probe has also been made to evaluate the extent and nature of socio-cultural and socio-economic changes among the Santal cultivators due to agricultural modernization. The book would be of much use to the social scientists, researchers, students, planners and policy makers in the field of rural development. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Review of Literature; Chapter 3: Concept of Variables; Chapter 4: Study Area and Methodology; Chapter 5: Demographic Profile of the Respondents, Alternative Optimum Plants of Cropping Pattern for Mechanized Farmers, Constraints of Mechanization, Changing Scenario of Mechanized Santal Farmers; Chapter 6: Summary and Conclusions.

In this study an attempt has been made to investigate into the determinants of adoption of new technology in agriculture by tribal and non-tribal farmers in Indian agrarian situation of Berpeta district of Assam in particular. There are a number of conditions, which must be met before given agricultural technology can be accepted by the farmers. Some of these conditions are the result of physical environment but many others are the by- products of the cultural background of the farmers. To make the adoption of agricultural technology possible one mustunderstand the environmental framework in which the process of adoption operates. In the absence of such an understanding useful innovations will remain unutilized. There is, thus, a definite need in countries like India for conducting scientific enqueries that may lead to the better understanding of the process of adoption of new agricultural technology.

The Study Indicates That The Amoung Of Land-Holding Is Positively Related With The Adoption Of New Technology, Especially Those, Which Are Costly. Secondly, The Friends, Kins And Neighbours Influence Such Adoption. The Influence By Institutional Sourcs Is Still Marginal. Further, The Behaviour Of Tribal Farmers In Adoption Of Technology Is Not Much Different From That Of Non-Tribals.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requested that the Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources of the National Research Council (NRC) convene a panel of experts to examine whether publicly funded agricultural research has influenced the structure of U.S. agriculture and, if so, how. The Committee to Review the Role of Publicly Funded Agricultural Research on the Structure of U.S. Agriculture was asked to assess the role of public-sector agricultural research on changes in the size and numbers of farms, with particular emphasis on the evolution of very-large-scale operations.

In the context of a growing population in an already densely populated area, agricultural yields will need to increase without putting additional stress on the environment. The adoption of modern inputs by smallholders is an important ingredient of agricultural transformation. In this study we explore plot-level, household-level, and institutional-level characteristics associated with agricultural technology adoption behavior among smallholder farmers. The aim is to uncover correlations that can guide the design of policies and incentives that are likely to increase adoption. We explicitly differentiate between fixed costs that are likely to affect the decision to use the technology and variable costs that are more relevant for the decision regarding use intensity. In addition, we examine how the importance of each of these characteristics differs with asset status. To do so, we use data from about 1,880 potato plots cultivated by 500 randomly selected potato growers in southwestern Uganda. We first categorize households into poorly endowed and well-endowed asset classes based on their access to productive assets. We then estimate double-hurdle models for take-up and use intensity of fertilizer for each group. The results show that the factors associated with the decision to use fertilizer are often different from those associated with the decision about how much fertilizer to use and that the characteristics correlated with fertilizer adoption differ between asset-poor and asset-rich farmers. For instance, asset-poor female-headed households are less likely to use fertilizer, but if they do, they use more of it than male-headed households. Our results also suggest fertilizer packaging and distribution are important factors in fertilizer adoption decisions due to their impact on costs related to both indivisibilities and uncertainty about the quality. We derive a range of policy recommendations.
