Series: Routledge Studies in Development Economics

India is the fastest growing and the world’s third-largest economy in terms of GDP in PPP terms. Sustainable development of India will ensure the welfare of the inhabitants of this most populated country. This book assesses trends of natural capital and areas of improvement through climate resilient agricultural adaptation in India.

The book looks at how the agricultural sector can become more climate resilient to ensure food security and human capital development. It also suggests a policy framework towards climate-resilient agricultural development. It outlines determinants of climate-smart agricultural practices and their impact on agricultural yield, biodiversity, and food security, and as well as outreach activities for wider collaboration from around the world.

This book will interest those who are researching accounting natural capital impacts of climate-resilient agriculture and 2030 SDGs.
