| Abstract | Primary agriculture’s contribution to the economy is small and declining, accounting for 0.5% of GDP and less than 2% of employment in 2004 [1] (Figure 3.26.1). Agricultural production rose slightly by 3% over the period 1990-92 to 2002-04, due to an increase in livestock production (but livestock numbers declined), as overall crop production remained unchanged. While the area farmed declined by 6% between 1990-92 and 2002-04, the intensity of farm input use diminished with reductions in the use of: nitrogen (–11%) and phosphorus (–33%) fertilisers; pesticides (–3%); and on-farm direct energy consumption (–15%) (Figure 3.26.2). Since accession to the EU in 1995 farming has undergone significant structural change [2]. The key developments between 1996 and 2005 include a reduction in the number of farms (–17%), an increase in farm size, and greater specialisation, mainly in dairying, pigs and cereals [1, 2]. Most farms are family owned and farming and forestry are often combined activities. The share of agriculture in the total land area, of about 7%, is among the lowest across the OECD area, because Sweden’s climate and topography limit the growing season in the north. As agriculture is mainly rain-fed its use of water resources is small, accounting for only 4% of total water use in 2000 [3], which also reflects the very limited area irrigated, less than 2% of the total agricultural land area (2002-04), although in dry years the irrigated area can be more than double this share. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
