The book OBJECTIVE AGRIBUSINESS MANAGEMENT 3rd Edition consists more than four thousand five hundred objective questions and the unique characteristics of all these objectives are that they have covered all most all the subjects of ICAR syllabus for agribusiness management. This is a handbook to refresh the memory at instant before the examination and the basic reliability and accuracy of questions and their answers are very pertinent from the examination point of view. We always come across different objective books like Objective Agriculture, Objective Agricultural Economics etc in the market and this book was the first one that was introduced in this segment four years before.This year it comes in its new version and look for its stakeholders. This book consists of thirteen core chapters like Principle of Management, Organisational Behaviour, Human Resource Management Strategic Management, Accounting Control and Financial Management, Agricultural Finance, Marketing Management, Agricultural and Rural Marketing, Agricultural supply Chain Management, Production and Operations Management, Operations Research, Managerial Economics and Farm Business Management, Agribusiness Policy, Project Management and Entrepreneurship Development, Research Methodology and General study in Agribusiness Management. Besides that five practice tests are also attached in this book for its readers. This book will also be helpful to the Management students who appear for UGC NET examination as the pattern of this examination is now objective based unlike before. This book will be one window solutions for the readers who are going to appear ICAR NET, ICAR ARS, and UGC NET Examination particularly in India.

A large number of mind-boggling questions of advance levels are presented. We have tried our best with wide array of questions covering minutest details of the subject in simpler form. Objective Plant Physiology is an exclusive fundamental search based collection of multiple choice questions prepared for students mainly to help them revise, consolidate and improve their knowledge and skills. The book comprises of twenty nine chapters covering diffferent aspects of plant physiology containing more than 2650 questions accompained with their answers.

The book on “MCQ’s in Plant Breeding, Biotechnology and Seed Science” has been prepared with the idea of exposing the students those who are preparing for the competitive examinations like Agricultural Research Services, NET, Public Service Commissions, Institute of Banking Personnel Selection, University and Institute admissions etc. It has three major parts viz., Plant Breeding, Biotechnology and Seed Science. The book has 80 chapters consisting more than 3000 multiple choice questions with answers.

Building on the Millennium Development Goals, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, billed by the UN as “an agenda of unprecedented scope and significance.” These seventeen goals are conceived as integrated, indivisible, and as balancing the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. To be achieved by 2030, the goals are organized around five core pillars: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership. As a member of the SDGs Publishers Compact, Frontiers is committed to advocating the themes represented by the SDGs and accelerating progress to achieve them. Nutrition sits at the heart of the SDGs. In addition to achieving ‘Zero Hunger’ (SDG2), improvements in nutrition are critical to both achieve and reap the benefits of all seventeen global goals. With good nutrition comes improved health and wellbeing (SDG3), enhanced educational and work productivity (SDGs 4 and 8), less poverty (SDG1) and reduced inequalities (SDGs 5 and 10). And with stronger and more sustainable environments, communities, and technologies (SDGs 6, 7, 9, 11-17) improved food security and nutrition will follow. As part of an innovative collection showcasing nutrition in the context of the SDGs, this Research Topic will focus on Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.

The scope of the study reported in this book entails understanding the constraints and providing potential diagnostics to Africa’s leather sector, which is otherwise globally, one of the most lucrative agro-based industries in the world, estimated at over US$ 130Billion. One of the principle core thematic aspects of the leather sector is, characteristically, its long value chain with multiple socio-economic dimensions. These entail employability, creation of wealth, gender parity and rural development. Thusly, in an effort to stimulate scholarly discussion, the study argues that preemptively, the problems facing the leather value chain stratums are high losses, low value addition initiatives and unexplored opportunities that are synonymous with the Africa’s leather industry. Indeed, the results of the research conceptualized opportunity management as a critical panacea towards value addition strategy for the leather sector in developing countries. In dealing with this concept, the book evaluated the various value chains phases and identified nine specific issues and variables drawn between value addition and the main leather strata. With this background, the study posed a main question and four sub questions to closely expound on related hypotheses and in lieu pursue four thematic aspects: trade, productivity, competitiveness, and innovation covered in twelve chapters of the book. Conclusively, the book manages to successfully conceptualize as a novelty that opportunity management is integral towards developing a leather value addition strategy for the developing countries with particular emphasis to Africa.
