Abstract

Livestock and Livelihoods: The Indian Context by Nitya Sambamurthi Ghotge gives a holistic view on the importance of the livestock and its linkages with ecological, sociological and economic practices. The interrelations presented in the book give a vivid idea of how livestock sustains livelihood for different communities who are dependent on it. Ghotge gives narratives in historical order of how domestication of animals came into practice and divergent processes like the livestock farming revolution contributed to increasing the population of the animals. The latter half of the book presents the need for reorientation of the policies and providing a better framework for bolstering local breeds and breeding systems.
