Summary: Land represents an important resource for the economic life of a majority of people in the world. The way people handle and use land resources impacts their social and economic well-being as well as the sustained quality of land resources. Land use planning is also integral to water resources development and management for agriculture, industry, drinking water, power generation, etc. This valuable work brings to the forefront the state of practice of land use planning in India, highlighting governmental programs and research with wide-ranging chapters on important topics. The book discusses: the impending impacts of climate change and variability issues have that direct bearing on agricultural land use and rural development, doable technologies that are land-based activities for effective agro-technology transfer strategies and approaches, the huge investments necessary for the effective planning methodologies and approaches, how land use planning activities are likely to improve nutrition and food security and enhance the livelihoods of the small and marginal farmers, the use and reliability of information technology tools, legal frameworks, and much more that are needed to adopt appropriate policies. With high population growth, endemic poverty, and weak existing institutional capacity for land management, India (and other regions of the world) require strong scientific and strategically important land use policies and methods for sustainable development. This book helps to show the way. This volume is published in association with the Centre for Agrarian Studies and Disaster Mitigation of the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRD and PR).
