Abstract
Land Sustainability and Common Property Resources Management in India: Challenges and Prospects
Highlights
Natural resources sustain rural life in several ways
In the above back drop, this paper made an attempt to critically examine the inter linkages of issues of natural resources land degradation and livelihood sustainability
Farmers have become caught in a vicious cycle land degradation reduces crop yields so they increase inputs, which in turn raise costs and further degrade land
Summary
Agriculture sustains a majority of rural Indians who depend on land for cultivation and fodder, forest products for fuel, food and medicine, water for drinking, cooking and irrigation, and fisheries for food and sale. These resources have been over-exploited and are rapidly depleting, exacerbating already severe rural poverty and vulnerability to climate change. Conservation and efficient use of natural resources can be achieved through sustainable farming practices such as the use of organic composite fertilizers and reduced water-intensity. The present study made an attempt to explore the possible action for sustainability of agriculture in particular and environment in general
