Book excerpt: Income is the most relevant measure to assess farmers' economic well-being and sectoral transformation. The crises and distresses plaguing the sector endanger the very livelihoods and welfare of the farmers. Indian Government with the intention giving enough policy thrust on income security, proposed to double the farmers' income by 2022, platinum jubilee year of the Indian independence. The present study analysed the current status of farmers' income across holding size and regions and attempted to decipher the scope and pathways for doubling income through potential drivers. The spatial and temporal trends in farm household income from crop production, livestock farming, wages and non-farm activities have been analysed for better understanding of the present scenario. The study tracked the farmers' household income across regions and holding size between 2003 and 2013 using the countrywide situation assessment survey data collected by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) and deciphered the scope and potential for doubling the farmers' income (DFI) by 2022. The findings from the NSSO data indicated that the share of income has increased drastically from 5 per cent to 12 per cent in the case of livestock farming, 45 per cent to 48 per cent in crop production, while that of the wages and non-farm have declined between 2003 and 2013. The challenges faced by the farming community in the coming years have been highlighted for devising relevant pathway and strategies to enhance the income. Yield enhancement followed by cost reduction, fair price realisation and risk adaption has been identified as the potential pathway for doubling income. Farmers' income from crop production, livestock farming, wages and non-farm activities is an outcome of synergy and convergence between technology, extension, institutions and policies to achieve the set target. Indian agriculture needs a relook with a special focus on farm income through productivity/efficiency enhancement coupled with cost reduction, better price realisation and income risk coverage to be on the track of DFI by 2022. The study also furnished strategies for doubling the income of wheat/barley producers focussing on varietal adoption, resource conservation technologies, diversification / intensification / relay cropping, pest and disease management in vulnerable regions, and cost reducing technologies. The study concluded that the government has to integrate investment and leadership in science & technology, extension, institutions and policy interventions to accomplish the set goal by 2022.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industry 5.0 is the successor of the 'Industry 4.0' concept which employed high technology in the manufacturing industry. Industry 5.0 is a new idea that adds a human touch to the work of robots and smart machines. The basic idea of humans and machines working together is to increase efficiency and effectivity, like the 'Internet of things' (loT). It aims to merge the increasing cognitive computing abilities of the robots with the intelligence and resourcefulness of the humans. The progress of Industry 5.0 is inevitable. As the technology grows more each day, we find ways to make our work simpler. The development of such technologies to make the world more efficient requires its manufacturers, i.e., humans who collaborate with these machines and technologies. Humans are indispensable resources, as what a machine can do is limited. And with all these efficiencies we have come so far, there is no path leading us back. With adoption of new concepts comes a paradigm shift as development continues and we move from Industry 4.0 which speaks of the "future of production," its primary purpose continues to be achieving seamless connectivity between machines and IT systems for higher productivity and efficiencies across the value chain. Overall, it focuses mainly on traditional financial and operational KPIs. Whereas Industry 5.0 gives a human touch to the concept of 4.0 keeping in mind the well-being of the environment and society, making the machines and humans work together on a path of 'Green Future'. Industry 5.0 has the balance of both humans and technologies which benefits the ecosystem, with discovery of new energy sources and renewable resources, helping in a sustainable working environment. It can be used to reduce harmful residue caused due to manufacturing processes and recycle rare materials. Taking this theme, the multidisciplinary congress on "Industry 5.0 and Paradigm Shift: Emerging Challenges" will highlight research challenges and open issues that should be further developed to realize Industry 5.0.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To meet the food requirement of growing population, rapid strides were made in Indian agriculture. Several developmental programmes were launched by government for its steady and stable growth. But in all these programmes, only a part of the farming community was covered effectively, the left out were continuously been untouched. In order to achieve sustainable development in agriculture, there is a need to concentrate on this un-reached group. Based on factors responsible for un-reachedness and the personal, socio-psychological characteristics of un-reached farmers, an appropriate extension strategy was designed to reach the un-reached farmers.The strategy was divided in to five broad areas Viz., 'Education' as the primary concern followed by 'Reoriented extension activities', 'Economic concern', 'Technological concern' and 'Socio-psychological concern'. An appropriate and feasible model was designed to reach the un-reached farmers. This strategy will help the administrators, plicy makers and other personnel who are working in the field of agricultural extension in executing the extension programmes towards the objective of sustainable agriculture.

However, after the advent of industrialization and agricultural growth, the industry has been met with several challenges including pollution, land use, and food insecurity. With the agricultural industry contributing to pollution and emissions, many have found it imperative to investigate the causes and seek out solutions. The Research Anthology on Strategies for Achieving Agricultural Sustainability discusses the issues that the agricultural industry currently faces and the technological opportunities that can be explored to help protect and predict crop growth and achieve more resilient agricultural processes. It analyzes the impact of agricultural pollution and food insecurity on a global scale, but also proposes solutions to promote agricultural sustainability. Covering topics such as bio-farming, smart farming, and population growth, this book is an indispensable resource for government officials, agricultural scientists, farmers, students and professors of higher education, activist groups, researchers, and academicians.
