However, changes in climate coupled with declining soil fertility over the area have an impact on crop production, and hence affect food security especially among small scale farmers. On the basis of this scenario, this study sought to explore the existence and determine the characteristics of climate variability/change, assess its impact on small scale farmers and explain their resilience and adaptive strategies.

Abstract: In early India, in the name of tradition, men had for long suppressed women and had deprived them of their rightful place in society. Even in the mid-nineteenth century, women had absolutely negligible rights in Indian society and had to be subjugated to their husbands and others in society.Literacy among women was not given any importance in Indian society as a woman's role as a male caretaker, wife or mother only took precedence. Even today, in many remote villages and very conservative households, women are supposed to cover their heads with the 'pallu'(one portion) of their saris (the traditional attire of women in India)in the presence of elders and are not allowed to voice their opinions freely or even express their desires freely in their household...........

Abstract: This work is aimed at exploring an appropriate solution in creating the legal certainty to the land use for developing investment in Indonesia. This legal certainty is highly required to guarantee the investment development. In Indonesia, since 2004, through the decentralization policy, the Indonesian government has shifted most of authorities of central government to regional government, including authority to the land. This policy has sparked legal uncertainty in utilizing the land, particularly for investment activities. For that reason, this work will elaborate and analyze the reasons behind of the shifting of authority...........
