      abstract = {Indian agriculture perpetuates – and therefore must reckon  with – numerous threats to ecological, economic and social  sustainability. These arise for the most part from the  commodification of nature and the reliance on external  inputs into increasingly industrialized forms of  agriculture. Low external input agriculture like  agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, and the like, are  viable alternatives that are more likely to deliver  outcomes suitable to the structure of Indian agriculture.  However, they too depend on the commodification of nature  as the sole source of economic framing. An alternate  framing, the Stewardship Economy, would build on  stewardship, a ‘duty of care’ that values monetized and  non-monetised products and services within the framing of  rewards, framed as stewardship dividends, to farmers and  other stewards of land and landscapes. Developing a  stewardship economy as the framework for Indian agriculture  would lead to a more resilient, equitable and optimistic  future for Indian agriculture.},
