Abstract
Vicissitudes are an inevitable part of the developmental process. Agriculture, for eras, which has been known for its contribution to the livelihood of the human population over the world, is not an exception to this fact. The anthropogenic development happened in all other sectors of the global economy like population growth, industrialization, urbanization, changed preference in consumption pattern, climate changes, etc. created and accelerated many folded hurdles in the agriculture. These hurdles are conflicting production and consumption system, post-harvest losses, food wastage, food crisis, triple burden of malnutrition, etc. which need immediate action to maintain its sustainability. This chapter highlights the need and scope of futuristic approaches, including climate-smart agriculture, nutritional farming, nontraditional and urban farming, diversified agriculture, robotics in agriculture, ICT-led agriculture, post-production, post-harvest management, logistics and value chain development, surplus management, waste to wealth in agriculture, etc. The chapter also includes the policy options and its imperatives for farmer income-led agriculture, nutritional-sensitive agriculture and farming to reach the unfed population, etc. to conquer the emerging challenges in agriculture.
