Farm Management, Production and Resource Economics

Farm Management, Production, and Resource Economics is an essential textbook that demonstrates the significance of economic principles in addressing issues in the agricultural sector. The book focuses on effective farm management, sustainable production techniques, and resource economics. It is structured around the increasing need for farm managers to develop and implement a business plan. This textbook is designed to educate the agricultural professionals of the future, emphasizing the strategic and operational aspects of managing a farm. It covers fundamental farm management decision principles, management functions, and the managers role in production activities and resource management. The book includes rich illustrations and data-driven graphs to enhance the learning experience and simplify complex concepts. Additionally, objective questions are provided in the appendices to assess students understanding.

This textbook is not only based on the syllabus of the subject Farm Management, Production and Resource Economics in the B.Sc (Ag.) Hon. course offered in State Agricultural Universities according to the ICAR recommended V Dean Committee but also beneficial for Masters, PhD, and other management students. I believe students and agricultural professionals will find this textbook helpful in improving the effectiveness, objectivity, and success of their decisions.
