Abstract
More than 41% of the world area is covered by dryland (arid and semiarid) ecosystems, which provide habitant to 2.5 billion people. India occupied more than half of South Asia dryland habitats. Forty percent of the world total grain production and nearly two-thirds of all livestock are supported by dry land, which generate about. Despite playing such crucial roles, dryland agricultural production systems face various obstacles that jeopardize their adaptability and long-term viability. The need of the hour for improving the future of dryland ecosystem is to identify the key challenges and issues on which system research should concentrate and the major strategies for enhancing dryland agroecosystems. This will result in a more resilient and sustainable agricultural production system.
