At present it is a fact that changes in our living environment are much rapid than the progress of the human health protection techniques because we know the organism environment relationships only superficially.
Over-exploitation of natural resources resulting in their severe degradation, diminishing water resources, declining forest cover, depleting energy sources, loss of biodiversity and generation of various kinds of wastes are the issues to be addressed on priority in India.
EDIBLE ROOTS AND UNDERGROUND STEMS OF ETHNIC INDIA The present compendium provides a very comprehensive and well illustrated account on this fascinating topic.
This book was originally intended as a text for students, and its primary purpose has not changed; it has, however, been increasingly used by practising farmers and, in order that it may serve their needs also, the authors have been at pains to avoid the use, without explanation, of such scientific terms as have not yet become part of our farming vocabulary.
About 20 per cent of the world's total population is residing in the mountains and this proportion is likely to increase in the present century as environmental degradation and pollution is driving the human population for settlement in the clean and serene environment of the mountains.

The recent trend in the changing eating pattern of our population mainly due to migration from village to cities and increasing number of working women has flexed a large canvas for the food technologists to act.
It is high time to initiate and plan cherry processing and value addition well near the major cherry growing belts to prevent postharvest losses, which at present are very high due to non-availability proper packaging and refrigerated transportation in growing belts.
This compendium on abbreviations in agricultural sciences is comprised of 2541 abbreviations distributed in as many as 36 subsubjects under agricultural sciences.
The proceedings of this book describe an attempt for interaction by the juxtaposition of researchers in aquaculture that provided an opportunity for presentations, discussion, and interaction of mutual benefit to the readers.
The sustainable use of microorganisms in food fermentation is based on an interrelationship with regard to indigenous knowledge of food fermentation, modern expertise and information, basic understanding of the microbial background of a fermentation and of good hygienic practices, and conservation of microbial strains.
In order to increase the production and productivity of crops in general, tuber crops is particular in the present over increasing population with decreased per capita land availability, the only way is to increase the vertical increase in the production with better value added varieties, farmers friendly sustainable management as well as production technologies.
