Produktbeschreibung
The changes from traditional to modern production
system from 1980 to 2002 are resulted due to
interactions of various 'fields' such as economy,
ecology, off-farm employment and politics that
brought changes in the agricultural landscape. This
study has demonstrated the dynamic interactions of
farmers access to and availability of different
resources through road networks, social networks and
markets that have brought changes in the farming
system. It is because of changing production
system, previously unused and marginal lands are now
converted to high value cash crops that has resulted
the changes in human perception to land, the
produces and the social groups living there.

Moreover, farmers have started growing fodder trees
and private forest due to which forest coverage has
increased, landslide and gullies are better managed,
hence there is less soil erosion and sedimentation
to downstream. These changes in agriculture and
environment are neither just an intensification nor
involution; rather it is understood as agricultural
evolution.
