Agriculture in Ladakh: A Step Towards Sustainable Mountain Development by Stobdan Tsering | Book review

 Book review:

''What do people eat in Ladakh?''; ''Why apricots of Ladakh are so sweet?''; ''Are the crops grown in Ladakh organic?''.....many such questions arise when we talk about Ladakh..  Here I got to read about agriculture in Ladakh.. The details regarding agricultural space , types of crops , optimum temperature or time of harvesting crops and much more.

The book gives readers a detailed insight of the topography, climate, and difficulties that farmers in Ladakh endure. It emphasizes Ladakh's potential as a center for study and examines efforts made to practice organic farming, which is an important step toward sustainable agriculture. The acceptance of new technologies by farmers and their openness to change are other topics covered in the book.

 He emphasizes the use of organic fertilizers, crop rotation, and water-efficient irrigation methods as essential components of sustainable farming systems.  By combining traditional wisdom with modern scientific advancements, he envisions a future where Ladakhi farmers can thrive economically while maintaining ecological balance.

The book mainly focuses on Ladakh's success in growing fruits and vegetables even when it's not the usual growing season. This made Ladakh known for exporting and got them a special label for their apricots. The simplicity of the language and the brilliance of the words show the expression of this book ideas of the author. Moreover, the amount of knowledge that the author has to accumulate to write the book is clear in the author's pen. And I can say with confidence that you will not be disappointed if you read the book.

Overall," AGRICULTURE IN LADAKH" is a knowledgeable and captivating book. The book follows up the agricultural condition of the beautiful place Ladakh. Worth reading, do grab it !
