Abstract

Livelihood security refers to the means of living necessary for human life both at the local level and in relation to the rest of the world. In the Himachal Pradesh region in India, the issues that are relevant in this context range from nutrition and agricultural production to the vigour of various types of ecosystem services. This book is based on a 3 years long research project, and addresses some primary aspects of livelihoods; i.e., land use practices among different natural resources, food production, income distribution, and community participation in the selected areas of the study region. The research mainly focuses on three principal themes: the roles of the changing agricultural production, the impacts of tree plantations, and the socio-economic impacts of tourism and other external actors (particularly NGOs) in the management of achieving livelihood security.
