Despite doubling national rice production over the last thirty years, Bangladesh has continually experienced an annual food grain shortage of nearly 1.5 million tonnes. This shortage is likely to continue, as rice production must increase by at least 60 per cent in order to maintain the present level of requirements by the year 2020. Increasing rice production further is an enormous task since there is no scope for horizontal expansion of the rice area. Therefore, full exploitation of the present yield potential of the existing varieties could be one of the best short-term options to satisfy the present level of food demand. Study shows that human labour, draft power, fertilisers and pesticides make important contributions to the output of both local (LV) and modern varieties (MV). Results also imply that if young and educated people are involved with production activities, extension personnel pay frequent visits, credit is more easily available and fragmentation of land diminishes then the technical and allocative efficiency of rice farmers in Barisal district could be increased.
This study attempts, to measure and compare resource use, efficiency and relative productivity of farming under different tenure conditions in an area of Bangladesh. Sample farmers were classified as owner, owner-cum-tenant and tenant farmers. A total of 90 samples, 30 from each class were selected on the basis of random sampling technique. It is found that total cash expenses as well as total gross costs for producing HYV Boro rice was highest in owner farms and lowest in tenant's farm. The total cost and gross return is highest in owner-cum-tenant's own land than in rented in land. Owner operators used more hired labor while owner-cum-tenant farmers and tenant operators used more family labor. However, it was found that owner farmers are more efficient than owner-cum-tenant and tenant farmers. Again, owner-cum-tenants are more efficient in production in the case of his own land than in rented in land. The owner-cum-tenant's rented in land is more efficient than tenant's rented in land. From the findings of this research, it may be argued that there is an opportunity for agricultural improvement through reallocation of resources following a series of interrelated reform measures
Study conducted in the Birbhum District, West Bengal, India.

Ending hunger, achieving food security and promoting sustainable development are at the top of the list of United Nations (UN) sustainable global development priorities. In the times of high population growth and increasing pressure of agricultural systems, efficiency in use of natural resources has been at the epicenter of sustainable agricultural. The concept of ‘Input efficiency’ implies production of high quantity and quality of food, from using only finite natural resources as inputs, in the form of mainly land, water, nutrients, energy, or biological diversity. In this book, editors provide a roadmap to the food, nutritional, and environmental security in the agricultural systems. They share insight into the approaches that can be put in practice for increasing the input use efficiency in the cropping systems and achieve stability and sustainability of agricultural production systems. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, agroforestry, agroecology, and environmental sciences. National and international agricultural scientists, policymakers will also find this to be a useful read.
