Ponds and Their Potential for Agricultural Sustainability in Punjab; Insights from a Century of Surface Water Change in the Granary of India
Ponds are one of the most basic landscape features that humans can use to manage water, and were important landscape features common especially in periods before people began extracting groundwater using fossil-fuels. In this article we use historical cartography and geospatial methods to analyse a century of change in pond distribution in the Indian state of Punjab, part of a larger area colloquially known as the ‘Granary’ of India. We ask how t…
From Policy to Practice
This study examines the minimum support price (MSP) policy’s effectiveness in India, focusing on its impact across various crops and states. The analysis utilizes data from the National Sample Survey’s 77th round, covering over 58,000 rural households. It highlights that while MSP helps in buffering key crops like wheat and rice, other crops, especially pulses and oilseeds, often see less benefit due to limited procurement activities. The article…
An interdisciplinary framework for using archaeology, history and collective action to enhance India’s agricultural resilience and sustainability
South Asia has a deep history of agriculture that includes a range of past farming systems in different climatic zones. Many of these farming systems were resilient to changes in climate and sustainable over long periods of time. India’s present agricultural systems are facing serious challenges, as they have become increasingly reliant on the unsustainable extraction of groundwater for irrigation. This paper outlines an interdisciplinary framewo…
Indian Labour Markets and Returns to Education
