The Decline of Uttarakhand's Fruit Production
This chapter explores the drastic decline in fruit production in Uttarakhand, particularly in Nainital's Ramnagar and Ramgarh districts, due to climate change and shifting agricultural practices. Rising temperatures, reduced rainfall, and increased water scarcity have significantly impacted high-value fruit crops like apples and peaches. Additionally, the chapter highlights the struggle of local farmers and the waning interest in traditional fruit farming among younger generations.
