It identifies and explores these three fundamental forms of agricultural growth: Malthusian (expansion), industrialization (external-input-dependent) and intensification (labour-based). Synthesizing findings from historical and scientific research, the book upends entrenched misconceptions such as that we are running out of land for food production, that our only hope is development of new agricultural technologies, that new technologies are developed mainly in response to food demands, and that such technologies saved a billion lives when they were brought to India and the developing world.
