Abstract
This paper is designed with the following objectives, viz., (i) to call attention to the ecological damages caused by a package of technical innovations (in this case, the Green Revolution) that are over-characterised with economic gains; (ii) to present the indigenous agriculture of Northeast India so as to highlight the unique sustainability elements embedded in them; and (iii) to stress the need for exploring the ways and means of incorporating and scaling up these traditional technologies/innovations in view of their salient sustainable features and in response to today’s intense need for addressing the sustainability question.
