Authors:K. A. Manjusha, Bipin Kishore Jojo First page: 7 Abstract: Journal of Land and Rural Studies, Ahead of Print. While it is unanimously agreed that Kerala’s development achieved major success in human development, such as minimum social security, food security, minimum gender differences in education, as well as easy and affordable access to health care, the question has not been so far addressed from the perspective of the grass root people, the adivasis. We feel this is high time to redefine what is real ‘development’ through the perspective of the adivasis. Emerging from an ethnographic and oral historical field work, this article examines how the absence of individual property ownership adversely affect the adivasis of Attappady in achieving their favoured development. This article additionally discusses how and why authorities have historically maintained the adivasis as a labour force. The most effective solution to put an end to the land question in Attappady is that authorities need to provide them with Individual Property Right within the Collective Right of Land.

Authors:Ranjeet Singh Verma, Amit Kumar Singh, Manisha Mishra, Alok Mathur First page: 19 Abstract: Journal of Land and Rural Studies, Ahead of Print. Land is a basic natural resource on which development of human with other living beings. Inadequate management of natural resources has affected biodiversity, agriculture productivity and ecological balance. It is necessary not only to conserve the degrading natural resources but also to bring in available culturable wastelands under agriculture after reclamation to achieve required production of food. Salt affected wastelands, waterlogged & marshy lands and undulating lands are the common culturable wastelands found in the Tarai region of Uttar Pradesh. In this study the land use changes have been monitored over a period of 16 years in a cluster of villages in a part of Lakhimpur District, using Google earth imageries and GIS software. An on-screen visual interpretation of satellite imageries of 2003, 2011, 2015 and 2019 to monitor land use changes revealed a decrease in culturable wastelands by 46.19 % and increase in agricultural area from 69.34 % to 83.79 % in a period of 16 years. The progressive farmers have used pressmud, which is readily available from nearby sugar mills for reclamation of culturable wastelands.

Authors:Animesh Roy First page: 28 Abstract: Journal of Land and Rural Studies, Ahead of Print. The article attempts to understand and illustrate why state-mediated land dispossession in India on a large-scale under the colonial, post-colonial and neoliberal regimes became inevitably necessary, and how dispossession under these politico-economic regimes broadly metamorphosed the structure of dispossessed labour force. It, however, argues that the colonial regime dispossessed peasants and tribals from their means of subsistence primarily to exploit and extract resources in order to expand its unabated political power and retain its industrial growth trajectory in England while the post-colonial regime embarked on massive dispossession to obviate acute indigence of the Indian citizenries by building state-controlled dams and industries for production, and institutions for developing knowledge. The neoliberal regime contrarily aimed to accelerate economic growth largely on capitalist lines. Both colonial and post-colonial regimes partly absorbed the dispossessed labour force in the production processes, whereas neoliberal regime deprioritized its absorption, exemplifying therefore an ‘exclusionary’, non-labour intensive growth model.

Authors:Richard Kofi Asravor First page: 52 Abstract: Journal of Land and Rural Studies, Ahead of Print. This study analysed the determinants of smallholder farm-level climate adaptation strategies in Ghana using descriptive statistics and multinomial logit model fitted to a cross-sectional survey of 500 farm households. This study identifies mono-cropping under rain-fed as the dominant farming systems practised and the most vulnerable. Results from the discrete choice model indicate that precipitation, temperature, ownership of heavy-machine, extension service, road infrastructure, distance and membership of farmer-based organisation are major determinants of the adoption of irrigation farming system. The study encourages the promotion of the activities of farmer-based organisations, the empowerment of women and the provision of agricultural extension services.

Authors:Maryanne Odufa Egbeadumah, Elisha Apakeh Aboshi, Godiya Bulus, Mohammad N. Zarewa First page: 69 Abstract: Journal of Land and Rural Studies, Ahead of Print. This study was on agricultural risk management and production efficiency among peasant farmers in Wukari Local Government of Taraba State with specific objectives to; determine the socio-economic characteristics of the peasant farmers in the area; identify the risk faced by farmers in the area; analyse the risk management strategies and determine their management efficiency in combating the production risk. The Data for the study were collected using structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected. The study showed that 88.8% faced risk from time to time while 5.6% of the respondents often face risk and another 5.6% never experienced risk at all. Diversification (56%) has been the major approach of risk management by respondents in the study area while integration (32%) and forward contracting (11.2%) methods were less employed. The coefficients of age (0.1044) was significant 1%, sex (0.7008) was significant at 5%, Educational level (0.3478) was significant at 1%, access to extension (2.6627) was significant at 1% and agribusiness risk (3.215) was significant at 1%. They were all positive indicating that they have positive relationship with the productivity of farmers. The allocative cost efficiency of risk management among the farmers stands at maximum: 20.57, minimum: 16.28 and mean: 18.55 indicating that the efficient level of production is very low thus demanding adequate management to increase production efficiency. It was recommended that the Government and stakeholders should help the farmers in time of risk to boost their morale for adequate production.

Authors:Ambrish Gautam First page: 83 Abstract: Journal of Land and Rural Studies, Ahead of Print. Pre-colonial equitable gender relations in the forested upland of Jharkhand plateau have been waning over the last 200 years on a spiraling pace. The rudimentary patriarchy of the indigenous communities of the hoary past received a great fillip during the early phase of ‘feudalism from bellow’ by the primary states. It grew at a faster pace in the colonial period, as a result of the privatization of land and religio-cultural impact of the Zamindari system. Presently, the complete exposure to the dominant society of the plains has triggered of a process of complete demolition of the indigenous institutions that upheld women’s economic rights and social status at a much higher level than that of the peasant society of the plains. The government policfy of economic reform and structural change, since the 90s accelerated the process of masculisation of social institutions further. Through this article I had tried to highlight the situation of tribal women in context with economic rights and social status in the society.
