India produces about 78 million tons of cattle and buffalo milk, 40 billion eggs, and million tons of meat (including million tons of poultry meat) annually (Dikshit and Birthal, ). Livestock produce dietary protein from the consumption of proteins produced by crop agroecosystems (Bijay Singh et al., ).

Publisher Summary. Agro-ecosystems provide the overwhelming majority of crops, livestock feed, and livestock on which human nutrition depends. The chapter discusses case studies that illustrate trade-offs involved in managing ecosystems and ways in which some communities responded as their local ecosystems :// different terms. Many techniques used in organic farming are not alien to various agriculture systems including the traditional agriculture practiced in old countries like India. However, organic farming is based on various laws and certification programmes. ŠOA is thought of as the best alternative to avoid the ill effects of chemical

Natural pastures are most commonly utilized feed resources in India and contribute significant amount of feed. However, the contribution and productivity of pasture lands is declining with time, mainly due to their diversion for other purposes, and thus reducing the total feed resources The availability and efficient use of the feed resources in India are the primary drivers to maximize productivity of Indian livestock.

Livestock of India. At the global level, livestock contributes 15 per cent of total food energy and 25 per cent dietary protein ( FAO report). Trends in the livestock sector Feed demand for cereals is often considered a dynamic land fishery resources and the ecosystems that support them is generally not precisely known and the reliabil-ity of data on inland water catches reported by several Non-conventional feed resources (NCFR): The non-conventional feed resources (NCFR) refer to all those feeds that have not been traditionally used in animal feeding and or are not normally used in commercially produced rations for livestock.
NCFR include commonly, a variety of feeds from perennial crops and feeds of animal and industrial :// A large potential for sector growth is possible if accessibility to feed resources is improved: In the African drylands interventions to improve feed accessibility can result in an increase in output of livestock products between 5 to 20 percent.

One such example is ‘fish-friendly’ rice produced from irrigated, rainfed and deepwater rice ecosystems, which values the diversity of Agroecology and sustainability of agriculture in India: An overview India has different climatic condition along with different topography and hilly terrain, it is main reason to the farmers India Environment Portal Resources: Multiple uses of small reservoirs in crop-livestock agro-ecosystems of the Volta river basin with an emphasis on livestock management; Climate smart crops; Agrobiodiversity in the Sikkim Himalaya: sociocultural significance, status, practices, and challenges It is important to understand that crop residues are the major feed resources for livestock in low and middle income countries (LMCs) and for example in India comprise about 70% of the feed In different agro ecosystems under organic farming 4 and 63% enhancement in microbial activity was noticed under different crops of various (Shiva and Bhatt ).
So there are enough evidences to prove that agroecology is not only profitable, but is The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (Parris, ) define three levels of agricultural biodiversity (hereafter “agrobiodiversity”): genetic, species, and elements of each level that are included in the OECD definition, as well as the missing ones, are summarized in Table /agricultural-biodiversity.
