Impact of cropping land use change on the food security of the people of Kashmir: A Review
Keywords:
Cropping, land, foodAbstract
Changes in land usage are important to the issue of food security. Food safety has dictated mankind's history. Over the next four decades, the world population will rise to approximately 9 billion. In the 21st century, the demand for food and feed is expected to treble, further increasing the strain on land, water and nutrients. The interconnections between food security and land use are of major concern to politics, science and society as a whole, both today and for the next several decades. During the last ten years, significant LULC changes were experienced in the research region owing to fast urban expansion, poorly planned infrastructure development and horticultural behavior which have negatively impacted food security. The temporal Landsat satellite data collected by Thematic Mapper (TM) was used for the LULC change detection study. The classification method supervised by Maximum Likelihood (MLH) was used for the classification of the field, while Post Classification Comparison (PCC) was used for analyzing LULC changes.
