Abstract

Agriculture being spatially and temporally sandwiched between natural landscapes and urban spaces, reflects the region’s nature-society dynamics at any point in time. The study sites mentioned in the previous chapter can be distinguished by their agro-ecology and socio-political history. Study villages in Bengaluru, Ramanagara and Mandya districts were part of the erstwhile kingdom of Mysore. They are located agro-climatically in the Southern and Eastern dry zones and agro-ecologically in the zone of Southern Maidan. Villages in Yadgir district lying in the semi-arid DeccanDeccan plateau of the north-eastern dry zone were part of Gulbarga in the princely State of Hyderabad. This chapter traces the linkages between the historical characteristics of agro-ecology and society and the recent pattern in urban–agrarian nexus in the two study regions around the cities of Mysore and Gulbarga.
