N2  - One of the most challenging policy issues for a long time has been conservation and
management of land and water resources for sustainable agriculture and poverty reduction,
specifically in rainfed areas. Rainfed agriculture contributes 60% of world?s staple
food and is being practiced on 80% of the world?s agricultural area (FAOSTAT 2005).
Water is a limiting factor in achieving food production (crop growth) in semi-arid
and dry subhumid zones (SEI 2005). Nearly two-thirds of India?s agriculture is based
on rainfed areas and contributes about 9% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)1. As
the source of growth in irrigated areas declines, rainfed agriculture must increase to
fill the gap...........
