本文讨论了印度农村资源利用和管理的一个最缺乏研究的领域，即“野生资源”，并探讨了生态变化，饥荒和贫困之间的联系。有人认为，一旦森林砍伐开始发生（在殖民国家帮助下，外来地主阶级剥削土著人民的背景下），森林部门拒绝人们获得传统的饥荒食品，Chotanagpur地区第一次发现自己容易遭受饥荒，这种饥荒影响了低地人口更长的时间。
This paper addresses one of the most under-researched areas of resource use and management in rural India, that of 'wild resources', and explores the links between ecological change, famine and poverty. It is argued that once deforestation started to take place (in the context of the exploitation of the indigenous people by an outsider landlord class, aided by the colonial state), and the forest department denied people access to traditional famine foods, the Chotanagpur region found itself for the first time subject to the kind of vulnerability to famine that had affected lowland populations for a much longer period.
