This book focuses on sustainable agro and food technologies for the northeast region of India and provides holistic insights into relevant and contextual scientific and technical advances in the agro-food sector. Agriculture is an important livelihood avenue for many residents of northeast India. Low-cost scientific and technological intervention can transform agricultural farm produces and generate farm waste into processed value-added products. This book will serve as a valuable resource to further enhance the linkage between managerial aspects and technological knowledge systems in this field and eventually catalyse potential knowledge frameworks for the long-term prosperity and sustainability of bio-diversity-rich North-east India. It emphasizes the research culture that needs to be adopted for the most relevant food and agro-processing technologies for the sustainable growth and prosperity of the region.
