Overview
- Reports that FMV with relation to socio-ecology and environment has not been studied adequately as a separate entity in India in comparison to studies in Europe and North America
- Illustrates that FMV has made a significant contribution to ensuring socio-ecological sustainability and can also play a crucial role in climate change mitigation
- Argues that the FMV component in a landscape has to be viewed in totality when exploring its interactions with socio-ecology and sustainability
- Is useful for researchers, scholars, and students of ecology, environmental sciences, forestry, socio-ecology, and geo-informatics
- Explores the more obscure areas of FMV in the perspective of socio-ecological sustainability

About this book
This book has been produced as a part of the project ‘Social-Ecological Systems at the Indian Rural-Urban Interface: Functions, Scales, and Dynamics of Transition’. It addresses transition processes in agriculture and society triggered by urbanization, focusing on Bengaluru as an example of a rapidly growing megacity in India. Adopting a holistic, multidisciplinary approach embedded within a social-ecological systems research framework, it explores how the physical and socio-economic landscapes have led to changes in economic priorities, which have overpowered ecological and traditional priorities with regard to ecosystem governance. Allowing readers to gain a deeper understanding of this unexplored dimension of socio-ecological systems, this book is a valuable resource for international researchers, scholars and master’s students in the field of environmental science, socio-ecology, forestry and agriculture.
