Contract Farming and Land Tenancy in Indian Agriculture delves into the fundamental factors that shape contractual or lease agreements within the country's agricultural landscape. Built upon the premise that contract farming or leasing can offer a compelling solution for policymakers seeking to integrate the underprivileged into the industrialized sector of the economy, the book provides valuable insights by examining diverse existing arrangements across India. By facilitating access to the benefits associated with successful agricultural tenancy arrangements, contract farming and leasing can serve as powerful tools for promoting agricultural diversification.

To foster an environment conducive to agricultural diversification, it is essential to establish a supportive policy framework in the realm of contract farming. This can be achieved by reforming land policies to enhance the bargaining power of smallholders, thereby empowering them to negotiate favorable terms and conditions. The book employs a systematic approach to analyze contract farming within the broader context of the existing land and lease market system. It includes comprehensive cross-sectional assessments complemented by field insights from various states, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with contract farming and land tenancy in India.

By offering a comprehensive analysis and practical insights, this book aims to provide valuable guidance to stakeholders involved in contract farming and land tenancy in India. It serves as a crucial resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to develop effective policies and strategies that promote sustainable agricultural growth, equitable distribution of resources, and improved livelihoods for rural communities.
