  • Hill Agriculture: Challenges and Opportunities∗
    Ind. Jn. of Agri.Econ. Vol.66, No.1, Jan.-March 2011 Hill Agriculture: Challenges and Opportunities∗ Tej Partap† I PREFACE The Farmers Commission, “Serving farmers and saving farming” points to rising acute agricultural distress in the rainfed areas of the country, which also includes hilly areas. It lists five basic cause factors that are central to the crisis; unfinished land reforms, water scarcity, technology fatigue-access-adequacy, institutional support and opportunities for marketing. While working for the National Commission on Farmers as a hill agriculture expert, the contributions on the hill agriculture perspective, gathered knowledge and information about the Himalayan farmers’ state of affairs, of global experiences etc., made by me in compiling the hill farmers section of the main report of the commission also form the basis of this paper. The focus of this paper is on highlighting the challenges facing hill farmers and how they can be addressed. The paper first dwells on the scale and dimensions of the problems of hill farmers including the two most significant common concerns, increasing crop land scarcity and water scarcity to maintain agriculture on marginal lands. It explains various dimensions of the new thinking on marginal lands and implications. The next section, describes how similar problems were addressed by other nations successfully. To highlight the point that technological options are and have been available, the report cites examples of right technological hits of the Himalayan region. The last section analyses the opportunities to find solutions to the hill farmers’ distress. Much of the farming development efforts made in the hills in the past were based on the poor understanding of the hill/mountain conditions, resources, environment and the socio-cultural setting of the people.

This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Environmental Economics, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2012 Maohua Ma (Finland), Ram Babu Singh (India), Reija Hietala (Finland) Human driving forces for ecosystem services in the Himalayan region Abstract Environmental, socio-cultural and economic variations supplied by natural ecosystems in the Himalayas have led to the evolution of traditional agro-ecosystems mainly in areas of Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan and China. A multitude of natural resources aids traditional mountain farming societies to sustain themselves. However, driven by large-scale population expansion, the Himalayan environment has suffered the effects of agricultural encroachment, deforestation and consequent soil erosion. Deforestation and land degradation appear to affect a far greater proportion of the popula- tion than previously thought, contributing to floods and stagnating agricultural output. Through this paper we will dis- cuss the main drivers for the maintenance of ecosystem services of the Himalayan region, i.e., the benefits to human- kind from the resources and processes that are supplied by natural ecosystems. The authors proposed to develop a holistic approach to link the ecological and social ecosystem services. The LULC (land use/land cover) analysis can be used as a joint platform to integrate natural sciences with humanities, and optimize trade-offs between ecosystem services.
