Why Livelihood Model
In the mist-covered hills of Meghalaya, nature is not just scenery, it is life itself. Forests provide food, water, medicine, and identity. Streams nurture farms, and land connects generations. Yet today, changing climate patterns, soil degradation, and limited livelihood options are slowly unsettling this delicate balance.
For many local communities, especially small farmers and forest-dependent families, livelihoods are deeply tied to natural resources. When land loses its fertility or forests thin out, income shrinks, food security weakens, and young people are forced to migrate, leaving behind empty villages and fading traditions.
Sustainable livelihood models are important because they protect this relationship between people and nature. They ensure that economic growth does not come at the cost of forests, water, and soil. Instead, they create systems where communities can earn with dignity, live securely, and pass on a healthier environment to future generations keeping Meghalaya’s ecological and cultural soul alive.
