Full Description
This book has been produced as a part of the project 'Social-Ecological Systems at the Indian Rural-Urban Interface: Functions, Scales, and Dynamics of Transition'. It addresses transition processes in agriculture and society triggered by urbanization, focusing on Bengaluru as an example of a rapidly growing megacity in India. Adopting a holistic, multidisciplinary approach embedded within a social-ecological systems research framework, it explores how the physical and socio-economic landscapes have led to changes in economic priorities, which have overpowered ecological and traditional priorities with regard to ecosystem governance. Allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of this unexplored dimension of socio-ecological systems, this book is a valuable resource for international researchers, scholars and master's students in the field of environmental science, socio-ecology, forestry and agriculture.
