Agricultural resources are among the most important renewable, dynamic natural resources and soil is the base of agriculture and natural wealth. Even though technology breakthrough and dissemination in agriculture increased the agricultural production manifold, the lack of appropriate site specific technologies and then adoption, mismanagement and indiscriminate use of technologies without considering the natural resources increased the severity and extent of the land degradation. The continued neglect and unscientific use of the soil resources for a long time has led to the situation observed at present in the state. So any initiative to solve the problems faced by the areas should also start at farm level only. This alone will help in evolving a rational, site-specific and viable land use options suitable for each and every farm. To achieve this, we need a detailed site-specific farm level database on land resources for all the villages. This book is prepared based on the Ph.D dissertation of the author that attempted to focus on land resources information and land evaluation.
