Abstract
Rural–urban interfaces worldwide are increasingly
witnessing massive transformations in the structure,
functions, and services of complex ecosystems of these
zones. An attempt has been made to understand the
transitions triggered by urbanisation in the peri-urban
agricultural systems of Bengaluru. Using a combination
of land-use change analysis and group interactions, the
temporal and spatial patterns in the impacts of urban
expansion on agroecology in Bengaluru’s peripheries
have been traced. The varying nature of agroecological
and sociocultural impacts corresponding to differences
in the pattern of urban expansion along different
directions from the city have also been unravelled.
Further, agroecological repercussions of existing and
proposed urban planning strategies for Bengaluru have
been discussed.
