The interface between mining, agriculture, and livelihoods represents one of the most critical and complex development challenges in resource-rich regions. While mining contributes significantly to economic growth through revenue generation, employment creation, and infrastructure development, it also produces far-reaching socio-economic and environmental consequences. These impacts are particularly pronounced in regions where agriculture forms the backbone of rural livelihoods. In such contexts, understanding the tradeoffs between extractive industries and traditional livelihood systems becomes essential for designing policies that promote sustainable and inclusive development. It is within this broader framework that the present book, “Mining, Agriculture and Livelihood Dynamics,” has been conceptualised.
