The book, Tribal Crop-Livestock Systems in South-East India, as the
title implies describes the related practices followed in undivided
Koraput district, in Orissa. There are 51 different communities who
live here. They survive largely on marginal farming and animal
husbandry. The study covers communities living in different
territories, hills and plains, some very primitive and some
slightly advanced. The tribal groups studied are Bhattra, Kondh,
Bondo, Dongria Kondh, Koya, Sabara, Bodo Poraja, Sano Poraja and
Bhumia. A short enthnographic note and agriculture practices of
each of these tribes has also been included. The magico-religious
rites associated with agriculture, as well as the tribal
co-operative agriculture labour, where still it exists, have been
described. The tribal crop-livestock farming system has been
classified and described under sections, such as Backyard Farming
System, Life Support Crop Farming System, Scarcity Period and Food
Resources, Famine Saviour Plant System, Slash and Burn (Podu)
Cultivation System and Mixed Species Animal Husbandry System. The
successful intensive agriculture system followed by Kondh under
rain fed condition and the vegetable grower Mali under limited land
and irrigation facilities have been described. The understanding of
the existing system can be utilized to build sustainable food
production system for those who are in a transitional stage of
development. The author has tried to present the book, as a
practical manual through many interesting photographs and sketches
and changes observed during the last three decades in agriculture
and animal husbandry in the area has been documented carefully.
