Preface
Natural resource management (NRM) include improving agro-ecosystem productivity, conserving biodiversity, reducing land degradation, improving water management, sustainability of forests, managing the sustainability of wildlife and fisheries, and mitigating the effects of global climate change. The shrinking per capita natural resources lead to intensive land use and results in further environmental degradation. Widespread, serious and continuing degradation of India’s natural resource base is now reflected in increasing difficulties in achieving growth rates in agriculture. Over 120 million hectare (ha) area has been declared degraded. The declining soil health and soil productivity due to loss of organic matter and carbon in most of the arable lands, groundwater declining at a greater pace and water lost due to salinity and alkalinity are threatening the sustainability of Indian agriculture. Natural resource management based on scientific principles plays a crucial role for an inclusive and sustainable growth of agriculture. Therefore, the Indian Ecological Society in collaboration with Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu (SKUAST) has organized an International Conference on Natural Resource Management: Ecological Perspectives, from February 18.20.2016 at beautiful campus of SKUAST, Jammu. The following theme areas are covered in the conference: Land and Water Resources: Land resource management and land use planning, water management, management of problematic soils, soil and water conservation, watershed management, water saving technologies, crop diversification, rain-fed / dry-land farming, weed management, development of integrated farming systems, organic farming, resource conservation technologies, traditional ecological knowledge, people's movements in soil - water - development paradigm, technology transfer and impact. Crop Environment Interactions: Adaptation to changing climate and resilience enhancement, diversification and mitigation through climate smart agriculture, vegetation-atmosphere exchange of green house gases, sustainability of environmental resources, biodiversity conservation and its rational use, crop environment interaction assessment using advanced technologies, shift in the manifestation of insect pests and diseases, improved weather and climate services, ICT enabled early warning systems. Integrated Nutrient Management: Soil health and nutrition, crop and efficient nutrient management practices, crop residue management, management of pollutants in soil. Integrated Pest Management: Protection technologies for horticultural and field crops, ecological basis of insect pest/disease management, impact on ecosystem and environment, pesticide residue, spray technology, insect biodiversity, useful insects, IPM programmes and their impact Horticulture Crops: Genetic resource management in fruit and vegetable crops; vegetative propagating techniques; protected cultivation; intensive production technologies for higher productivity in horticultural crops; climate change mitigation; pre & post-harvest handling and value addition; good agricultural practices in horticultural crops; socio-economic impact of National Horticulture Mission. Forestry Tree Plantations: Economic, social and ecological valuation, natural resource management, climate change mitigation, biomass energy, tree health and protection, trees outside forests – adoption and management, wood products and composites, eco-tourism, policy, education and training Eco-responsive Livestock and Fisheries Production: Integrated crop-livestock husbandry for optimum natural resource utilization, environmentally resilient livestock and fisheries management, water economy of livestock operations, health and production interventions for sustenance of fish production, conservation and management of aquatic resources, aquaculture in degraded lands, aquaculture impact on environment, livestock and fisheries for livelihood generation and socio-economic development. Policies for Sustainable Development of Agriculture: Indicators of sustainable agricultural development, economic and social impacts of technological interventions on agricultural production, impacts of climate change on agriculture, crop livestock interactions, policies, institutions and regulations related to land , water and energy and their impacts, success stories on sustainable development, lessons learned for their up-scaling, strengthening the extension system in India: the role of the private sector. Promoting Resource Efficient Agriculture System through Public- Private Partnerships: Panel discussion on promoting agricultural systems through public-private partnership and resource efficient agricultural system.
This compendium entitled “Natural Resource Management: Ecological Perspectives” divided in two volumes (1 and 2), covering the eight theme areas, includes extended abstracts, lead, oral and poster communications. Volume 1 covers land and water resources, crop-environment interactions, forestry tree plantations and horticulture crops. Volume 2 covers livestock and fisheries production, integrated pest management, and integrated nutrient management and policies for sustainable development of agriculture and success stories. The manuscripts submitted to the conference were reviewed in detail and suitable ones are documented. In all there are 708 articles on all aspects of natural resource management. We express our sincere thanks to Dr. Pradeep K. Sharma Vice Chancellor Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu and chairperson of the conference for enormous support and encouragement. We are extremely thankful to various key and lead speakers who agreed to present their work. Finally we are thankful to all contributors from India and abroad for making useful contributions and timely submissions. The contribution of articles to the conference by industry reflects a synergy between public- private partnership for sustainable development and is a way forward to increase total factor productivity in agricultural research and extension. We regret that, due to overwhelming response we could not include the valuable contributions of the scientist who submitted their work after December 31, 2015.
