Nagaland is a small state in the north-eastern part of India where majority of the population depends on agriculture serving as the backbone of its economy. Cereals occupies more than two-third of the total cultivable area in the state where rice, maize and millet being the major variants cultivated. Two methods of cultivation are mainly practiced in the state namely, jhum (shifting cultivation) and terrace cultivation, which jointly makes about 86 percent of the total cultivable area. In the recent years, a high surge in population coupled with high demand of food grains is seen which is of great concern for global food security. Therefore, there ascends a need for sustainable agricultural growth for achieving global food security which can only be unraveled by putting into practice modern and innovative agricultural practices which are sustainable in the long run. A study was carried out in six selected districts of Nagaland with a sample size of 300 respondents to find out the extent of adoption of recommended cultivation practices of rice. Data was collected through personal interview method by administering a structured schedule. Findings revealed that majority (60.67%) of the farmers had moderate level of adoption for recommended cultivation practices of irrigated rice and majority (60.00%) of the respondents had moderate level of adoption for recommended cultivation practices of upland rice.

Due to its geographical origin, varied physiographic conditions, and favorable climate, Bihar is one of India's states with the most biodiversity. It is well-known because of its indigenous populations and abundant forest resources. Bihar is home to tropical moist deciduous and tropical dry deciduous forests consisting of main plant species like Shorea robusta , Anogeisuss latifolia , Terminalia tomentosa , Diospyros melanoxylon , Pterocarpus marsupium , Butea monosperma , Madhuca longifolia , etc. Timber, fuel wood, fodder, and a variety of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) such as fruits, nuts, edible fungus, vegetables, fish, animals, medicinal plants, resins, essences, and a variety of barks and fibres like bamboo, rattans, palms, and grasses are all commonly extracted forest products. Some of the serious threats endangering the current populations of significant plants include over-exploitation of useful plants, a lack of knowledge and awareness about the status of the plants' current populations. Researchers' collection of plant materials, particularly rare and endangered plant species, from natural settings for diverse experimental reasons also endangers the species' wild populations. To meet the increasing demand for these precious resources while also ensuring their long-term sustainability, efforts should be made to cultivate and multiply them on a vast scale. Research on the spatial distribution patterns, habitat utilization patterns, feeding ecology, and effects of herbivores on significant plant populations is urgently needed.

Shifting cultivation, also known as Jhum (slash and burn), is an old-age cultivation practice that has been practiced by the indigenous people of the hilly states of the north-eastern part of India since time immemorial. Jhum cultivation is now thought to be a natural exploitative system where the land and natural resources are not managed optimally. It is also one of the primary contributors to deforestation and inefficient land use with low productivity and return on investment, according to Gupta, 2005. An attempt was made to measure the attitude of farmers towards shifting cultivation in selected districts of Nagaland state with a sample size of 120 respondents. The Khuhly and Mishra (2016) scale was used for measuring farmers’ attitudes towards shifting cultivation. The respondents were interviewed personally with the help of structured interview schedule. The majority (63.7%) of respondents had a moderately favourable attitude towards shifting cultivation, while 20% of them had a highly favourable attitude and 16.33 % had a low favourable attitude towards shifting cultivation, according to the findings.
