This study
investigated human-ecosystem relationship for agriculture development
using sustainable natural resource management strategies for improved
livelihood in a cultural landscape inhabited of Apatani tribe in
northeast India. The authors argue that social robustness, traditional
institutions, and cultural obligations govern resource management. The agro-ecosystems exhibited a
high ecological and economic efficiency that brings a high degree of
self-sufficiency to the community. Resource management is done by
village institutions through collective decisions. The integrated management of
resources by Apatanis could be an exemplary model for any society to
replicate.
