Question

2. Write a case study on land as a resource.

Answer 1

Answer:

The farmers of today are expected to maintain rural agricultural landscapes with production mandates that restrict their mandate to integrate conservation plans with landscape management. In this context, an effort was made to evaluate the degree of land use, management and conservation practices adopted in Lagadwal village of Dhule district through detailed soil survey and photopedological interview walks and discussions with farmers. The landscape photographs were thematically arranged and analyzed to construct and narrate theories of land care by local farmers on erosive high hills covering thirty per cent of area (>620m elevation) and supporting extremely shallow Budkhed and Lagadwal series in southern part of the village. The photo views of erosive mid hill landscapes with gullies and landslip areas (40% of area, 600 to 620m) have soil association of moderately shallow Lagadwal thana series on crests / side slopes to very deep Brahmasila and Gaikot series in lower slopes whereas low hills (35% of area, 580 to 600m) with ridge lines and drainage depressions have moderately deep Lagadwal tola series. The farmer‟s did not perceive the long term landscape changes occurred due to partially effective conservation plans and pressing financial issues. The photographs revealed the unclear realties of harvesting farm produce on these steeply sloping erosive landscapes emphasizing more on explicit policy toward land management practices and offers opportunity to the farmer‟s to change their farm production management activities. The photographs were not intended to evaluate land care per se but offers an insight to the farmers how they look of the land at landscape level.

Answer 2

Write a case study on land as a resource.

• The word "land resources" refers to the physical, biotic, environmental, infrastructural, socioeconomic, and near-surface freshwater resources that are crucial for management of a natural land unit.
• Water, oil, copper, natural gas, coal, and forests are a few examples of common land or natural resources. The raw materials used in the industrial process are land resources. These resources can be both renewable (forests, for example) and nonrenewable (oil, for example, or natural gas).
• production of biotic materials for human use, such as food, fibre, fuel, or other. supplying living spaces for plants, animals, and microorganisms. co-factor in the global hydrological cycle and energy balance, which act as both a source and a sink for greenhouse gases.
• Land is utilised for a variety of things, including farming, forestry, mining, construction of homes, roads, and industrial establishments.
• The term "land" refers to the following: the earth's surface, such as plains, plateaus, and mountains; the sea, rivers, and ponds; the air and light; oil, coal, and natural gas; as well as silver, gold, and other metals and minerals.
• Among India, there are 43% plains, 30% mountains, and 27% plateaus in the country's land resources. Mountains offer a location for tourism and rivers that flow continuously, whereas the majority of the plains are made up of agricultural land and businesses. Minerals, fuels, and forests are plentiful on plateaus.
