A first of its kind, this authored book marshals data and logic that necessitate the agriculture sector to transcend beyond its conventional role of securing food, fodder, and feed. It examines India's growing working population and juxtaposes it with the declining labour demand in the secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy, on account of the deployment of disruptive suite of labour-substituting technologies. Therefore, the conventional developmental models that hypothesize the shifting of surplus manpower from agriculture to non-agricultural sectors may not stand the test of scrutiny in the twenty-first century. Hence, the need for remandating the agricultural sector to generate gainful jobs and supplementary incomes in an ecologically synchronous manner for sustainability.
