Agriculture sustains nearly half of India's population, yet outdated practices, market inefficiencies, and weak institutional backing have long capped farmers' income and growth. This book explores contract farming as a possible bridge across these gaps, tracing its journey from colonial-era origins to its place in today's liberalized economy, while comparing India's approach with international models from the USA, Thailand, Kenya, and China. It unpacks the legal architecture surrounding these arrangements, from the Indian Contract Act, 1872, to state marketing regulations and the contested Farm Acts of 2020, and reviews how courts have handled disputes between farmers and agribusiness firms. Grounded in case studies from Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh, it weighs contract farming's actual impact on rural income, productivity, and market access. The book closes with a proposed Model Contract Farming Legislation built on equity, transparency, and accountability - offering practical recommendations for policymakers, regulators, and scholars working toward a fairer, more sustainable agricultural economy.
