“…Aggregation of several factors as an index for agricultural sustainability assessment was introduced by World Bank, United Nations and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in the 1970s (Gaetano 2010). However, existing studies have developed several indexes such as integrated sustainability score, farm assessment index, ASI, farmers development index, sustainable livelihood security index and agricultural sustainability measurement index to assess the performance of agricultural sustainability using primary and secondary data (Qiu et al 2007;Hatai and Sen 2008;Gaetano 2010;Sharma and Shardendu 2011;Roy and Chan 2012;Rostami and Mohammadi 2017;Kareemulla et al 2017;Fallah-Alipour et al 2018;Mili and Martínez-Vega 2019;Talukder et al 2020;Valizadeh and Hayati 2021). Most studies have used simple descriptive analysis, principal components analysis and factor component analysis which includes the normalization values of a selected set of variables.…”

“…Agricultural sustainability has a multidimensional and complex association with all activities in a country (Valizadeh and Hayati 2021). So, agricultural sustainability assessment is controversial (Hatai and Sen 2008;Sydorovych and Wossink 2008;Fallah-Alipour et al 2018;Lampridi et al 2019;Mili and Martínez-Vega 2019;Talukder et al 2020). Existing researchers do not have unanimity on the dimension of agricultural sustainability (Kareemulla et al 2017).…”

“…Thus, landholding size has a vital contribution to increasing agricultural sustainability (Hensen 1996;Gaetano 2010;Fallah-Alipour et al 2018;Mili and Martínez-Vega 2019). High yields of food-grain and oilseed crops are the fruit of better soil fertility and quality, irrigation and technological advancement (Hatai and Sen 2008;Kareemulla et al 2017;Singh and Issac 2018). It also increases the farmers' profitability; thus, it is a crucial determinant of agricultural sustainability (Ghabru et al 2017).…”

“…Thus, social equity improves as an increase in factors related to social development (Zhen and Routray 2003). Previous studies developed SEI to examine the ASI in different countries (Hatai and Sen 2008;Gaetano 2010;Sharma and Shardendu 2011;Ghabru et al 2017;Kareemulla et al 2017;Fallah-Alipour et al 2018). In this study, SEI was considered as a function of per capita availability of food-grain and milk production, literacy rate, female literacy rate, gender ratio, birth rate, infant mortality rate, road length per 1000-person, Gini coefficient of distribution of consumption (rural area) and per capita expenditure on social sector.…”

Abstract. Singh AK, Kumar S, Jyoti B. 2022. Influence of climate change on agricultural sustainability in India: A State-wise panel data analysis. Asian J Agric 6: 15-27. This study developed Economic Efficiency Index (EEI), Social Equity Index (SEI) and Ecological Security Index (ESI) as an assessment of Agricultural Sustainability Index (ASI) in 17 Indian states during 1990-2017. The Composite Z-Score method was used to integrate 32 different economic, social, and ecological security factors to create ASI, EEI, SEI, and ESI. Subsequently, it examined the impact of climatic factors on ASI using linear, log-linear, and non-linear regression model through state-wise panel data during the said period. The descriptive results indicate that agricultural sustainability was positively associated with economic efficiency, social equity, and ecological security. Therefore, factors related to economic efficiency, social equity and ecological security would be helpful to improve sustainability in the Indian agricultural sector. Furthermore, there was high diversity in economic efficiency, social equity, and ecological security across the Indian state. The ratio of agriculture Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and gross irrigated area with the gross sown area, landholding size, a yield of food-grain and oilseed crops, and cropped area under food-grain crops were observed to be the most influencing factors of economic efficiency. Total literacy rate, female literacy rate and rural literate population were the most crucial factors to improve social equity. Ecological security was improved with increased forest area, pastureland and cropping intensity. Furthermore, the empirical results also showed that maximum temperature had a negative influence; and economic efficiency, social equity, and ecological security positively influenced agricultural sustainability in India. Therefore, India needs to take effective climate policy action to mitigate the negative impact of climate change in the agricultural sector and its allied activities to increase sustainable agricultural development in India. Subsequently, this study provided several policy suggestions to reduce climate change risk in the Indian agricultural sector.

Using the tool of sustainable livestock production index, the study attempts to assess the sustainability status of the livestock sector in the arid state of Rajasthan in India. Sustainable livestock production index (SLPI) has been worked out as a composite index encompassing ecological, economic and social dimensions by aggregating a total of eight representative variables. The sustainability scores of seven agro-climatic zones in the state were less than 0.5 suggesting ardent policy attention for improving the sustainability of livestock production in the region. Based on relative values of component indices, economic efficiency index, social equity index and ecological security index, and respective representative variables, the study has identified the regions and the specific dimensions therein that require policy attention for the orientation and development of programmes which are geared towards the sustainable development of the livestock sector.

Abstract:For a fast growing economy like India where most of its cities experiencing consistently increase in urban population, the future welfare of city residents is heavily relied on providing better living conditions and health prospects to the urban dwellers particularly to those who are living in miserable and unhygienic environment. The paper derived slum condition index (Slum CI) of notified and non-notified slums for assessing relative status of living conditions and health status of slum dwellers in a fast growing city. Slum CI as a composite index of its four components of household environmental index (HECI), social condition index (SCI), economic condition index (ECI) and health condition index (HCI) worked as an effective tool for identifying not only the slums requiring attention but also priorities required for the development of healthy and smart city. Slum CI based analysis revealed wide inequalities in its four components. Non-notified slums were found to have poor slum conditions. Social, economic and health conditions demand higher priority over household environmental conditions in Nangla Battu. In Shobhapur and Phelera household environmental conditions should be accorded higher priority over social, economic and health conditions. The study has also identified priorities for the notified slums which have better slum conditions. For instance, in Jamna Nagar, social, economic and health conditions and in Uttam Nagar household environmental conditions should be given higher priority for sustainable urban environmental management. Social conditions, health conditions and household environmental conditions are the outcome factors of poor economic conditions in the sampled slums. Priority based policy responses were suggested. Thus, slum condition index based approach can be utilized for assessing welfare programmes and relative status in slums, and providing holistic framework for healthy city.
