The present study estimates the social cost of growing paddy, wheat and legumes as Rs 9484, 8804 and 1281 per ha respectively. Monetized value of overall risk in paddy, wheat and legumes is Rs 716, 650 and 1738 per ha respectively. An economic incentive consisting of risk and social benefits, to the tune of Rs 8611 and 9225 per ha over wheat and paddy respectively, should be provided for the production of legumes. The study highlights the need to internalize environmental benefits of legumes vis-à-vis competing crops, and accordingly cultivation of legumes needs to be encouraged through a proper mechanism of incentivization.Keywords

Traditional paddy varieties are climate resilient, local stress-tolerant, low-input intensive and valuable sources of genetic diversity that have been under the threat of extinction from rising preferences for high yielding varieties. However, farmers in few pockets of the globe continue to cultivate traditional paddy varieties. This study therefore is an attempt at investigating who cultivates them and why they do so, through the survey of 225 paddy farmers in Wayanad district of Kerala. Results revealed that traditional paddy varieties were grown mainly by marginal and tribal farmers for chief purposes of self-consumption, and for associated traditional values and conservation. Farmers’ varietal selection decisions were found to be influenced by varietal traits related to consumption aspects, consumer demand, pest and disease resistance. Therefore, by cultivating traditional paddy varieties, farmers have been conserving these valuable genetic resources on-farm. However, stronger concerted institutional interventions are required for full-fledged, systematic and sustained in situ conservation of agricultural biodiversityKeywords

Canal irrigation system, besides providing irrigation, generate many ecosystem services for command areas, viz. lesser groundwater extraction and carbon emissions, energy savings, groundwater recharge, recreational services for inhabitants, etc. However, existing studies primarily emphasize irrigation services provided by canals while overlooking other ecosystem services. Therefore, this study monetizes key ecosystem services rendered by the Eastern Yamuna Canal (EYC) and collates government expenditures incurred. The result shows that the ecosystem services delivered by EYC are worth Rs 1122.86 million, nearly 48.27% more than working expenses. Further, the result highlights that anchoring only on revenue generated to exchequer with water rates, to compare the performance of any canal will not be sufficient. The present study suggests that if the government facilitates the timely availability of canal water to the farms and collects water charges equal to working expenses from the water users, it could be a much better trade-off for the stakeholders.Keywords

Malnutrition, which can perpetuate a cycle of poverty and ill health, will disproportionately impact people. Biofortification is an initiative to ensure improved nutritional outcomes in developing countries, where approaches to food supplements and commercially marketed fortified foods are limited. A primary survey was carried out in and around the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, India. A total of 134 respondents from urban and 123 respondents from rural areas were interviewed. The results revealed that the majority of respondents in urban areas (72%) presumed that biofortified products were higher in micronutrients than those in rural areas (49%). The findings reveal that age and gender negatively impact consumer awareness of biofortification, while education, food habits and income exert a positive and significant impact. The policy implications drawn should enable the development of consumer-based food products by creating a niche market and using an appropriate marketing channel to increase consumer acceptance and WTP.Keywords
