Livelihood diversification and enhancement has long been recognised
as a mechanism to promote livelihood development. It has become a
prime concern of the people living in the remote and economically
backward regions, worldwide. In the Himalayan regions, where
livelihood largely depends on the biomass based agricultural
production, rearing of animals and on the collection of non-timber
forest products, diversifying and enhancing livelihood options is
highly inevitable and is a need of the hours. Developing
alternative livelihoods through harnessing agro-ecological
conditions for diversifying agriculture - subsistence and cash
crops, and enhancing other options - NTFPs, eco-tourism, and
hydroelectricity will manifest a way for sustainable livelihood in
the Himalayan region. This book contents an introduction and nine
chapters on the above-cited issues and suggests policy measures to
sustainable livelihoods.
