  • Abstract:
  • This research examines the precarious state of livelihoods and food security in the tribal communities of Kandhamal, Odisha. The study highlights how systemic challenges such as land degradation, climate variability, and socio-economic marginalization are critically impacting these communities. The research employs a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and secondary data analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of the factors contributing to food insecurity. Findings reveal that traditional agricultural practices are increasingly unsustainable, leading to diminished food production and heightened vulnerability. Additionally, socio-economic factors such as limited access to markets, inadequate infrastructure, and government policies are exacerbating the crisis. This research aims to identify sustainable solutions and policy recommendations to enhance food security and support the preservation of endangered livelihoods in these communities. By focusing on local knowledge systems and traditional practices, the study advocates for a participatory approach to developing strategies that align with the socio-cultural context of Kandhamal’s tribal populations.
