Revitalizing Hill and Mountain Agroecosystems Landscapes

An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Hills and mountains play a critical role in sustaining global biodiversity, freshwater resources, cultural heritage, and ecological balance. Found in over 80% of the world’s countries, these landscapes offer indispensable services not only to their immediate inhabitants but also to populations far beyond.

Hills and mountains play a critical role in sustaining global biodiversity, freshwater resources, cultural heritage, and ecological balance. Found in over 80% of the world’s countries, these landscapes offer indispensable services not only to their immediate inhabitants but also to populations far beyond. Nowhere is this more evident than in South and Southeast Asia—regions home to some of the planet’s most diverse mountain ecosystems and cultures. Yet these valuable ecosystems are increasingly at risk due to climate change, socio-economic pressures, and unsustainable land-use practices.

Revitalizing Hill and Mountain Agroecosystems Landscapes: An Interdisciplinary Perspective presents an insightful account of the challenges and opportunities facing these fragile landscapes. It combines ecological, cultural, socio-economic, and policy perspectives to analyze the complex interconnections shaping hill and mountain agroecosystems. This volume underscores the need for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient development strategies tailored to diverse geographic and cultural contexts.

Key features:

· A comprehensive interdisciplinary approach drawing from ecology, hydrology, agronomy, economics, sociology, climate science, and more

· Region-specific insights focused on South and Southeast Asia’s mountain ranges

· An indispensable roadmap for disaster risk reduction and sustainable resource management

· Peer-reviewed chapters written in both technical and accessible language, complemented by illustrations and case studies

· Practical frameworks for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners working on mountain ecosystem sustainability

This book is essential reading for scholars, practitioners, development planners, and policymakers interested in agroecosystem sustainability, environmental conservation, and rural development in mountainous regions. By bridging science and practice, it aims to inspire informed action to preserve and enhance hill and mountain landscapes for current and future generations.
