Social-ecological systems in the field of tension of Indian urban-rural gradients: Functions, scales and transitional dynamics - project phase 2

The project deals with the following scientific questions:

  1. How do agricultural production systems and household structures change at different stages of urbanization?
  2. How does urbanization affect the ability of regional ecosystems to provide food and other ecosystem services?
  3. How do exchange processes between agroecosystems, producers and consumers, or between different social groups change as urbanization progresses?
  4. How do social and ecological systems interact when rural and urban lifestyles, traditions, demands and forms of land use collide?

GNR participates in the research of Cluster C01 - Assessment of structural and functional properties of crop production systems using modern terrestrial, aerial and space-based remote sensing methods.
