Managing
Land Resources for Sustainable Agricultural Growth and Diversification in
Organised by

(GOVERNMENT OF
UTTAR PRADESH)
Land and water are primary factors
of agricultural production. The present market driven approaches of land and
water resource utilization are creating stiff competition between their
agricultural and non-agricultural usages. The present socio - techno environment due to
multi-directional mounting biotic pressure on natural resources, such as land,
is finding it difficult to offer sufficient livelihood opportunities particularly
to the economically weaker and vulnerable farming groups such as landless,
marginal and small landholders. All these factors necessitate formulation of
proper land policy and land use planning.
Besides, restrictions on land leasing and lack of appropriate legal and
institutional arrangements for contract farming stand in the way of diversified
rural growth and poverty reduction.
This seminar aims to deliberate upon the issues related
to proper management of land resources for diversified and sustainable
agricultural development and poverty reduction with special reference to Uttar
Pradesh. This seminar is also expected to provide inputs for designing an
appropriate land policy and land use system to accelerate the pace of
agricultural development and poverty reduction in the next five year plan.
