Agricultural engineering entails the practice of such endeavours which include the designing of farm technology, food and bioprocessing technology, the search for bio-renewable products. The field offers the prospect of not just better, scientific agricultural practice, but also sustainable agriculture.

This book has been designed as an introductory text which undertakes a through exploration the concepts and practices which define agricultural engineering. Delineating the principles, technology and techniques which lend shape to this science, the text brings within purview the advantages and challenges offered by agricultural engineering, especially in the current global scenario where food prices have risen dramatically owing to insufficient agricultural production, giving space to a thorough discussion of current trends in the field too, the text incorporates critical perspectives too, which aim to enhance the reader's understanding of the basics of the science of agricultural engineering.
