Technology adoption and farmers’ income: Evidences from Rainfed agriculture

Abstract

Improving the productivity, income and employment of the rainfed regions of our country is surely going to help feed the poor and generate adequate income. The actual impact of the interventions needs to be quantified and analyzed to better target affordable and profitable technologies to needy communities. Rainfed agriculture particularly needs investment in providing affordable technologies especially in water conservation, improving yields and adoption of a farming-systems approach by diversifying enterprises.
