Rural Livelihood Diversification
Author: P. S. Sujithkumar
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783846516966
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Rural households can generate income from farm, non-farm, remittances and social support capabilities. It is observed that that policy intervention by the government to promote diversification among rural households has made only marginal changes and diversification is more of a household survival strategy. There has been an improved income for those households who have diversified and more of diversified households have come out of poverty. An inverse relationship between land holdings and diversification is observed and there is no significant difference between income earned from agricultural activity and non-agricultural activity with respect to richer households. The process of rural diversification in livelihood has to be strengthened to minimise the risk and uncertainty in the income earning capacity of rural people and smoothen the income flow so that the rural poverty can be brought down and the levels of living can be enhanced.

Transforming Food Systems for a Rising India
Author: Prabhu Pingali
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030144097
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.

Publisher:
ISBN:

Book Description
This paper examines livelihood diversification as a survival strategy of rural households in developing countries. Although still of central importance, farming on its own is increasingly unable to provide a sufficient means of survival in rural areas. The paper's objectives are first, to increase awareness of livelihood diversification in approaches to rural development; second, to consider the interactions among diversification and poverty, farm productivity, natural resource management and gender relations in rural areas; and third, to advance the policy understanding of diverse rural livelihoods.
