This book examines the performance of organized retail chains supplying the agri-input and output services in terms of achieving their objective of utilising collective bargaining power in the marketing of their agricultural produce, integrating empirical experience from India and other selected developing countries. The scenario of marketing for agricultural products has been undergoing rapid changes with the rise of organised retailing (the Indian term for ‘supermarkets’), a process that is likely to accelerate in years to come, with India being on the threshold of a supermarket revolution. In fact, India is referred to as the ‘final frontier’ in the development of supermarkets. The growth of supermarkets in India is faster than that in China, which is also witnessing an exponential growth as part of the “third wave” of supermarket diffusion. The book investigates the links between organised retailing and farmers and farming in India. Apart from raising issues of equity, inclusion and problems in policy framework, it also discusses policy interventions that are essential in order to make the development of organised retailing more inclusive and beneficial to the farming community and agricultural sector. The book further serves as a guide for policy makers, helping them to select the right kind of interventions to balance growth with equity as market forces penetrate deeper into the agricultural marketing space.
India occupies the prime position in the production of vegetable crops and it is universally accepted that these are cheaper sources of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals and dietary fibers, still, nutrition has yet not been considered as an indicator of social change or for that matter economic development in this country. The nutritional security of a country can be achieved only when enough vegetables are consumed. The area and production of vegetables in India has been increasing year after year during the post green revolution period and the country is heading towards another revolution in the form of "Golden Revolution." Even though, India is the second largest producer of vegetables in the world still the prevailing system of cultivation, harvesting, storage, marketing etc., are not developed. The marketing of vegetables is still a major problem. As most of the vegetable growers are small farmers there is an urgent need to tackle the prevailing problems and to have a sound vegetable policy for the future. It is in this connection this book makes an attempt to highlight the importance of this sector in our economy by noting the various aspects like origin, values and uses, area and production both in the world and in India, varieties, harvesting, marketing, exports, problems and prospects with the help of necessary available data base. The book makes an indepth study about these aspects and an effort is also made to highlight the role of organisations in its development. This book is useful for the students, researchers, trader and policy makers.
As people increasingly migrate to urban settings and more than half of the world's population now lives in cities, it is vital to plan and provide for sustainable and resilient food systems which reflect this challenge. This volume presents experience and evidence-based "state of the art" chapters on the key dimensions of urban food challenges and types of intra- and peri-urban agriculture. The book provides urban planners, local policy makers and urban development practitioners with an overview of crucial aspects of urban food systems based on an up to date review of research results and practical experiences in both developed and developing countries. By doing so, the international team of authors provides a balanced textbook for students of the growing number of courses on sustainable agriculture, food and urban studies, as well as a solid basis for well-informed policy making, planning and implementation regarding the development of sustainable, resilient and just urban food systems.
