High demand for KAU’s agriculture guide Crops 2024

The recent release of Crops 2024, a comprehensive guide offering recommendations for agricultural development in the State by the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU), has elicited an overwhelmingly positive response from farmers.

Launched on February 12 by Agriculture Minister P. Prasad, the book has already sold around 1,000 copies, through both the Agricultural Technology Information Centre in Mannuthy and online platforms such as Amazon, according to the KAU sources.

The primary objective of this publication is to advocate for sustainable agricultural practices that not only bolster production, but also secure the livelihoods of farmers. It strives to achieve this by advocating for the adoption of innovative farming techniques, reaching out to both farmers and the general populace. Emphasising the importance of stability in agricultural production, Crops 2024 introduces novel agricultural practices aimed at safeguarding farmers’ interests.
