This book explores structural changes in India's agrifood systems during the next ten to twenty years. The dynamics in the agrifood sector is explored in the context of the overall economy, taking into account agricultural and trade policies and their impacts on national and global markets.

The contributors draw on qualitative and quantitative approaches, using both a national model -- to focus on urban-rural relations and income distribution -- and an international model to focus on patterns of economic growth and international trade.
