Author Introduction

Dr. Stering Stobdan is a Ladakh based agriculture scientist at the Defence Institute of High Altitude Research. His research has influenced agriculture policies and his technological innovations have reached over 120 villages in Ladakh. He identified a native Apricot as the world's unique and sweetest Apricot that later became ladakh's first GI tag product. The Ladakh greenhouse technology he developed received the Prime Minister award for Excellence in Public Administration.

Blurb

The contribution of Ladakh to agriculture production at the national level is insignificant. Nonetheless, despite all odds, Ladakh is receiving a lot of attention. High light intensity, high UV radiation, cool temperature, and arid environment make the region ideal for growing high-quality niche crops. The synergy of teamwork displayed to make agriculture the primary growth engine for the region's development is exemplary. Ladakh will soon be the first organically certified Union Territory.

My Opinion

Agriculture in Ladakh by Tsering Stobdan is a research work on the agricultural practices in Ladakh. It describes Traditional Farming System in detail with its features. Also, the author has given references of his work for better understanding. While reading the book, I came to know about some of the popular fruits and vegetables of Ladakh. The amount of knowledge the book transcends is amazing. You will also come across details regarding floriculture. The author's main theme is Organic Farming in Ladakh which is becoming increasingly popular.

The author has also pointed out some complexities and challenges faced by the farmers. The language is easy to read and understand. It also suggests the best farming practices to follow for farmers. The book also shows how much agricultural practices have changed from past to present with the help of government and local people.
