With rapid population growth demand on land resources is increasing. Subsequently, risk to land resource sustainability is also intensifying. Considering thatagriculture employs 64 per cent of the labor force, it is not surprising that agriculture isthe predominant mainstay in nearly every state. Agricultural geography has been thesubject of intensive research and monitoring during the post independence period.
Considerable data already exists at national, state and district level. But, ago ecosystem research and education are being preferred by geographers in order to provide particularly a strong base for detecting responses to global climatic change and preferred differentiating effects of climates, pollution and land use (Singh and Shah, 2004, Singh and Shah, 2007). The impact of increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere will have enormous effect on agriculture and vegetation. It is important to understand processes relating to changes in land use affecting the resources of the river basin and coastal zone. A focus on agro ecosystem in Indian geography is highly imperative,
highlighting different agriculture ecosystems of India, agricultural input environment,
ecologically based pest management and Eco-farming (Jha and Singh, 2008).
