Gupta, Pankaj H. 2009. Apna Aloo Bazaar Becha: From subsistence ecology to the market (Film review)

Abstract

There are no easy answers for the community of Jardhargaon, India. Ancient practices of subsistence farming and seed saving are barely vialble as young people trade vilage life for adventure in the cities. Simultaneiously, market penetration into this once-isolated village is not improving the quality of life for its residents.
