Farmer perspectives on crop residue burning and sociotechnical transition in Punjab, India
Burning rice stubble is a common practice for millions of farmers across the Indo-Gangetic Plains. Though burning represents a low input, cost-effective strategy of crop residue management (CRM), it produces harmful air pollution, and it releases greenhouse gasses. Large-scale transition to no-burn CRM in northwest India will require social and technological change. We analyze data from 60 focus group discussions and 24 interviews with farmers an…

Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Resource Constrained Environments
World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antimicrobial resistance as one of the top 10 threats to public health. The agency has formulated a global action plan to tackle antimicrobial resistance by reducing incidence of infectious diseases, increasing knowledge and awareness and promoting rational use of antimicrobials amongst other measures. While the core elements of successful antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs are much publicized,…
Mapping Love for Land among Punjabi Peasants in the Colonial Era

For the Indian peasant, the land is the underpinning of the quality of life; all social and economic concerns as well as the individual’s stature in public life ultimately …
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…
