A district level sustainability of rice farming in hilly region of Manipur

Abstract

Rice farming is an important occupation and its sustainability is important for ensuring the livelihood of the country, India. This study examined the three dimensions of sustainability i.e., economic, social and ecological sustainability at macro level. It has estimated that in economic sustainability, 80% of the hill districts were moderately sustainable and cent percent of the districts were moderately and highly sustainable in case of social and ecological sustainability, respectively. Hence, it can be stated that the state performed well ecologically which is due to better performance of hill districts but economically, it should be hypothesized to put better in the state.
