Description
Every harvest starts with a seed, and with the hope of the farmer who sows it. Seeds of Hope treats Indian agriculture as traditional knowledge and modern science working together. It offers practical, research-based guidance for farmers facing uncertain weather, worn-out soils, water stress and unstable markets.
The book was written as a ready reference by scientists and extension specialists from Assam Agricultural University, its Krishi Vigyan Kendras and partner institutions. Its eight sections cover crop production and soil health, pest management, horticulture and indigenous foods, livestock, fisheries, agribusiness and entrepreneurship, climate resilience and rural livelihoods, and digital agriculture. Topics range from millets, mushrooms and ornamental fish to natural farming, sericulture, GIS and AI-based irrigation.
The guidance is based on evidence, suited to local conditions and respectful of indigenous knowledge. Farmers, students, teachers, researchers, extension workers and agripreneurs will all find it useful.
