Summary
This survey of research on economic geography in two volumes is part of a series undertaken by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) since 1969, covering various social science disciplines. It aims to understand spatial organization vis-à-vis socio-economic development in India, during the period 2003-2009. An important area of focus is the country's urban-centric economic growth in the midst of innumerable villages and small towns. The survey underlines the need to reverse this pattern and integrate rural, suburban, as well as peri-urban regions in the national developmental agenda. The first volume of this survey, Land, Water, and Agriculture, brings out the environmental basis of agricultural development. It provides directions to develop geographical research and ways to strengthen methods such as remote sensing and GIS in order to facilitate application of land-based resources for general welfare. The essays also map research in agricultural geography and explore themes such as agrarian relations; cropping pattern and agricultural productivity; food security; and livestock.
