Context-dependent agricultural intensification pathways to increase rice production in India.

Yield gap analysis is used to characterize the untapped production potential of cropping systems. With emerging large-n agronomic datasets and data science methods, pathways for narrowing yield gaps can be identified that provide actionable insights into where and how cropping systems can be sustainably intensified. Here we characterize the contributing factors to rice yield gaps across seven Indian states, with a case study region used to assess the power of intervention targeting.

Biodiversity in agricultural and food systems of jhum landscape in the West Garo Hills, North-eastern India.

Unlabelled: is a swidden agriculture agroforestry system indigenous to India. It enriches crop diversity and dietary diversity, helping to ensure food security and nutrition. However, is now being rapidly abandoned in favour of intensive agriculture, often involving monoculture.
