Agriculture is an important profession in the world. This
profession is still not developed in some countries. However, some
countries have made great progress in this profession. In a developing
country like India, agri-profession is of unique importance. Considering
the importance of this profession, the Geography Board of Studies
included ‘Agricultural Geography’ in the curriculum. This is a perfect
thing.
While writing the book, we tried to analyse the syllabus by using
different topics. The topic has been discussed in the chapter according
to the university syllabus.
Our colleagues gave very useful suggestions, which we took into
consideration while writing this book.
Our friend Hon., Rangrao Patil, Prashant Publication, Jalgaon,

not have been written without his encouragement. So we thank them.
