Abstract/Description: | A livelihood is a means of making a living. It encompasses people’s capabilities, assets, income and activities required to secure the necessities of life. A livelihood is sustainable when it enables people to cope with and recover from shocks and stresses (such as natural disasters and economic or social upheavals) and enhance their well-being and that of future generations without undermining the natural environment or resource base. Livelihoods options are shrinking in rural areas in general and more so in fragile eco-regions, such as drought, desert prone, hilly areas and other under developed /backward districts. Various strategies were adopted to improve livelihoods including sustainable natural resource management, productivity and profitability enhancement, building support systems and institutions, and converging development agenda of different development agencies. The sustainable livelihoods approach (SLA) is a way to improve understanding of the livelihoods of poor people. It draws on the main factors that affect poor people’s livelihoods and the typical relationships between these factors. It can be used in planning new development activities and in assessing the contribution that existing activities have made to sustaining livelihoods. The worsening state of dryland agriculture created by drought, recurring crop failures and a lack of livelihood diversification in rainfed backward regions leads to distress and survival migration. Chapter 1 Introduction There is a decrease in agricultural productivity because of inherent risk involved in the crop farming due to uncertainty of rainfall and occurrence of recurrent droughts. Livelihood strategies in rural areas can be classified into three categories: agricultural intensification and diversification, farm productivity and profitability and addressing migration. Agricultural production is only one subset of activities within the broader set of livelihood activities of agricultural producers. Agricultural producers often have additional ways of making a living: as labourers, artisans, processors, traders, money lenders, etc. In addition, remittances of money from migrated family members in town or abroad, or from the rent of land or houses are other sources of income. |
