Abstract:
The Indian Himalayan Mountain farming system has been undergoing certain transformations under the influence of market forces, climatic variability, as well as changes in lifestyles and food habits. Present agricultural policies have largely ignored the vital resource base of mountain farming system such as traditional agro-biodiversity and it has serious implications for agricultural sustainability and food security. Agricultural education, extension and scientific experimental paradigms in the region have often ignored local and indigenous agricultural knowledge and focused on a massive push towards technologies with ever-increasing dependence on external resources. Breaking this vicious cycle requires robust institutions, fair policies and adequate incentives to upgrade the quality of livelihoods, and appropriate research-based technology and innovations to revive traditional farming systems in the region. This paper highlight the status, major problems/issues/challenges, role and contribution of agricultural educational universities and R&D institutions located in the region and also suggest appropriate measures to bring desirable changes in the agricultural education imparted in universities/colleges, policy, research and development, land use and breeding approaches for achieving food security and agricultural sustainability
