“Bioeconomics” plays a very important role in Agricultural Production as well as Agriculture allied fields like fisheries management, aquaculture, etc., and thus, plays a very vital role in the Economy of each and every Agro-based country of this world. Hence, this book will give an overall idea regarding various concepts and principles of Bioeconomics. The major topics covered in this book include origin and evolution of bioeconomics, evaluation indicators for measuring bioeconomy sustainability, various challenges and perspectives towards it, relation between socio-biology-bioeconomy and agricultural production, role of bioeconomics in fisheries management, aquaculture and invasive species etc., Thus, this book will be a boon to the Agricultural Economics Researchers and Scholars with an elaborative study of numerous concepts and principles of bioeconomics. The subject matter has been presented in simple language and is supported with latest data and research findings which is helpful for an improved knowledge and thorough understanding regarding various concepts on significance of agriculture for bioeconomy, challenges of the agricultural bioeconomy, agricultural production, production sustainability and evolutionary scenarios for various agricultural business models.The book includes 64 diagrammatic representations and the best references which make the book explanatory as well as easily understandable. It is an excellent textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Economics, Agricultural Economics, Fisheries and allied faculties as in this book, Prof. Venkatesh C. Pande highlights all the important aspects explaining the co-relation between Bioeconomics and Agriculture as well as various allied fields of Agricultural Sciences. It is also an ideal as well as useful reading for policy makers, researchers, officers and staff of Agricultural Department, Forest department, managers of agribusiness firms and organizations.
