Abstract
DOI: https://doi.org/10.32444/IJSW.2018.79.2.229-252 This paper explores aspects of land diversity that can help reduce livelihood vulner- ability to climate change. Using household data of 100 Konda Reddi families in Andhra Pradesh, it examines the land use pattern of different land types in this ‘agency belt’. Using the Land Diversity Index, the study provides insights into land use preferences across farmer categories and highlights vulnerabilities of marginal and small farmers to climate change. It expresses concern over maladaptive practices being perceived as ‘coping mechanisms’ in response to local climatic changes. It creates a case for policy makers to revisit the existing development policies from a climate lens.
期刊介绍：
The Indian Journal of Social Work (IJSW) is the flagship publication of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, and is brought out by its Publications Unit. Published every January, April, July and October, the TISS entered its 77th year of uninterrupted publishing, a record in journal publishing, in 2016. The first issue of the IJSW was brought out in June 1940. It focussed on two aspects of Child Welfare - Children in Industry and Juvenile Delinquency. The main objectives of the IJSW are to: cater to the need for literature on social work, and be a medium of dissemination of indigenous work being carried out in the country. Over the years, the IJSW has kept pace with changing perspectives and developments in the field of social work and social work education. The IJSW has brought out over 50 Special/Focus issues since 1940.
