The worst of the existential crisis for civilization seems looming very close since we are confronting with water crisis, soil degradation and biodiversity erosion. Around 20 tons top soils are being eroded per hectare per year due to coercive effect of mechanization ; the availability of per capita water has been slashed down from 5000 cubic meter to 1300 cubic meter between 1950 to 2025. While agriculture as a whole is pumping out ground water to the level of 70 per cent of total ground water reserve, four crops mainly rice , wheat, sugarcane ,cotton are responsible for 90 per cent of total depleted ground water in agriculture. If we are to produce 550 million tons of food grain by 2050 to feed a projected population of 1600 million, it is next to impossible with these fragile and porous ecological services. So, we need to follow   conservation  agriculture with an orchestration of energy-climate-knowledge pursuits amongst practicing farmers. The book exactly lands here to present an empirical research on conservation agriculture with a clear focus on renewable energy issues, carbon positive farming for energy restoration and mobilizing community knowledge for ushering the dent and direction of conservation agriculture. This is a time felt publication to serve the global audience in the forms of faculties, researchers and policy makers to save ecology and to save civilization as well.
