Download or read book Agrarian Change and Urbanization in Southern India written by Seema Purushothaman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes readers on a journey through the evolution of agricultural communities in southern India, from their historical roots to the recent global neo-liberal era. It offers insights into a unique combination of themes, with a particular focus on agrarian change and urbanisation, specifically in the state of Karnataka where both aspects are significant and co-exist. Based on case studies from Karnataka in South India, the book presents a regional yet integrated multi-disciplinary framework for analysing the persistence, resilience and future of small farmer units. In doing so, it charts possible futures for small farm holdings and identifies means of integrating their progress and sustainability alongside that of the rest of the economy. Further, it provides arguments for the relevance of small holdings in connection with sustainable livelihoods and welfare at the grass roots, while also catering to the welfare needs of society at the macro level. The book makes a valuable contribution to the scholarship of agrarian as well as peri-urban transdisciplinary literature. For agrarian academics, students and the teaching community, the book’s broad and topical coverage make it a valuable resource. For development practitioners and for those working on issues related to urbanisation, urban peripheries and the rural–urban interface, this book offers a new perspective that considers the primary sector on par with the secondary and tertiary. It also offers an insightful guide for policymakers and non-government organisations working in this area.

Book excerpt: In theory, chemical-free sustainable agriculture not only has ecological benefits, but also social and economic benefits for rural communities. By removing farmers' expenses on chemical inputs, it provides them with greater autonomy and challenges the status quo, where corporations dominate food systems. In practice, however, organisations promoting sustainable agriculture often maintain connections with powerful institutions and individuals, who have vested interests in maintaining the status quo. This book explores this tension within the sustainable farming movement through reference to three detailed case studies of organisations operating in rural India.
Download or read book On The Waterfront Water Distribution Technology And Agrarian Change In A South Indian Canal Irrigation System written by Peter P. Mollinga and published by Orient Blackswan. This book was released on 2003 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Series: Wageningen University Water Resources Series. This book analyses the struggle over water in a large-scale irrigation system in Raichur District, Karnataka, South India. It looks at water control as a simultaneously technical, managerial and socio-political process. The triangle of accommodation of different categories of farmers, irrigation department officials and local politicians, involving water, votes, money, employment, credit and harassment, is documented. The book shows that the physical infrastructure, notably the division structures, are signposts of struggle, expressing the balance of power between farmers and the irrigation department, and that between head- and tail-end farmers. It concludes with a discussion of irrigation reform efforts in India: reasons for the very slow transformation of the sector, and how a more integrated perspective on irrigation could provide directions for the way forward.

Download or read book Agrarian Change Migration and Development written by Raúl Delgado Wise and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus and concern of Agrarian Change, Migration and Development is the problem of labour migraton. Veltmeyer and Wise explore the dynamics and development implications of the migration processes set in motion by the capitalist mode of production. The dynamics of these processes are both international -- in regard to the international or cross-border flows of labour migrants -- and internal to countries that have undergone, or are undergoing, a process of agrarian change and social transformation.Veltmeyer and Wise examine what they call the "migration-development nexus" from both a political economy and a sociological perspective, highlighting current trends, the global scale and the human dimension of the labour migration process, with particular reference to the increasing south-north flows of migrants who are forced to abandon their communities and ways of life by the globalizing forces of capitalist development.While it may appear that these migrants are free to choose to abandon their communities, and in many cases their families, in the search for greater economic opportunities and a better way of life, the authors show with devastating logic that the decisions made by so many migrants are rooted in the workings of the world capitalist system, which converts them into a pool of surplus labour to be pulled into and out of the system as required by capitalists in their endless search for private profit.
Download or read book Technological Advancement In Indian Agriculture written by Dr. Gaurav Aggarwal and published by Sankalp Publication. This book was released on with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: : Agriculture, as a backdrop in India's economy, is critical because to its substantial percentage of job and livelihood generation. In India, agriculture's contribution to GDP is dropping while the number of people involved in agriculture and related activities remains high, creating worries about both land and labour productivity. Throughout history, technological innovations have had a significant impact on agriculture. So far, technological development in Indian agriculture has remained an unfinished undertaking. The influence of new technology varies according on crop and locale. Clearly, the progress made thus far has been limited and symbolic, and much more has to be done to appropriately promote and spread it. A necessary first step in this direction would be to examine the emerging trends and technologies in agricultural advancement, which is precisely the objective of this inquiry. The book provides an interesting narrative of technological advancement in agriculture by analyzing in depth technological method used. Also it gives all the details from emerging technology in advancement of Indian agriculture such as breeding methods and seed farming technologies in agricultural crops, plant cell and tissue culture techniques in crop improvement, remote sensing in agriculture, effects of genetically modified (GM) crops on modern agriculture, nano technology in agriculture, precision farming, emerging technologies for integrated pest management, pioneer methods of fruit production in modern horticulture, modern era remote sensing and GIS in horticulture sector: opportunities and challenges and impact of economic factors on nutritional diet. This book would certainly assume greater significance in creating database for realistic planning and implementation of future technological advancement in agriculture and would help in adding to existing store-house of knowledge concerning latest technology in agriculture and related issues. It would also guide readers in deriving insight in understanding many aspects relevant particularly to technological advancement in Indian agriculture.

Download or read book Structural Transformation and Agrarian Change in India written by Goran Djurfeldt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landlord and his emaciated labourer are symbolic of Indian agriculture. However, this relationship has now changed as large landowners have fallen from their superior position. This volume explores how this emblematic pair is becoming a thing of the past. Structural Transformation and Agrarian Change in India investigates whether family labour farms are gaining prominence as a consequence of the structural transformation of the economy. The authors work alongside Weberian methodology of ideal types and develop different types of family farms; among them family labour farms that rely mainly on family workers, contrasted with capitalist farms that depend on hired labour. Agriculture is shrinking as a part of the total GDP at the same time as agricultural labour is shrinking as part of the total labour force. The changing agrarian structure is explored with the use of unique long-term survey data and statistical models. Results show that India is approaching farm structures that are typical of East and South East Asia, with pluriactive smallholders as the norm. This book successfully criticizes popular narratives about Indian agricultural development as well as simplistic evolutionist, Marxist or neoclassical prognoses. It is of great importance to those who study development economics, development studies and South Asian economics.
