The Indian Eastern Himalaya, a biodiversity hotspot, is also home to myriads of tribes and colourful sub-tribes, who are expert bio-harvesters and managers of the agro-ecosystem. The tribes are known for their indigenous knowledge system (IKS). Despite the undulating hilly and ecological fragile terrains, one can observe the skilled utility of land for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract


The Indian Eastern Himalaya, a biodiversity hotspot, is also home to myriads of tribes and colourful sub-tribes, who are expert bio-harvesters and managers of the agro-ecosystem. The tribes are known for their indigenous knowledge system (IKS). Despite the undulating hilly and ecological fragile terrains, one can observe the skilled utility of land for sustainable agriculture.
