• Soil Salinity and Food Security in India (2020, background): “Sustainability of rice-wheat cropping system in the Indo-Gangetic plains of India has been challenged, as evidenced by the stagnating rice-wheat yields and declining factor productivity during the last about three decades, by the fast receding water table, climate variability, deteriorating soil hea”
• A food systems approach to researching food security and its interactions with global environmental change (2011, background): “Improved water governance would reduce the food system vulnerability in the Indian case (Aggarwal et al. 2004), while in the Nepali case, investment in infrastructure and policies for strategic food reserves at local level are needed (Dixit 2003).”
