Over the past three decades, climate change and other ecological issues have wreaked havoc on diverse livelihoods in the Himalayas. This book seeks to understand the challenges faced by Himalayan farmers and their agricultural institutions under fluctuating production conditions. Given that agriculture is most sensitive to climate change, the contributors to this volume relate contemporary farming practices with projected scenarios for the future. However, climate change is only one aspect of a wide array of factors that lead to multiple kinds of uncertainties among the farming communities. The essays use the lens of flexibility to debate and discuss farmers and farming systems that are most suited to adapt to a future burdened with uncertainty. This volume takes a long view of the year 2100 and projects a course of action that best prepares farmers and farming communities to manage future repercussions of climate changes and other uncertainties related to the environment.
