Abstract
Introduction: The socio-economic aspects of livelihood of Galo tribe are largely based on agriculture and forests and rely heavily on working together as a community. The way they eat is strongly influenced by how they are living. Objective: The study is to provide a complete overview of the livelihood systems and food habits of Galo tribe. Method and Materials: The study will primarily be qualitative, but it also has a limited quantitative component. The research design for this project uses a combination of descriptive and exploratory methods. This descriptive aspect documents the dietary habits, patterns, and livelihoods of the Galo tribe. Results and Discussion: Most local communities are dependent on forests, trees and natural CPRs for their food and fuel wood requirements. The community possesses good health and their health management is purely nature-based and environment friendly. The lifestyles of tribes and Indigenous peoples - such as economic systems, social structures, cultural aspects, and political systems - are affected by and adapted to changes in the environment they depend upon. Conclusion: Natural resources are the basis for rural livelihood development. Forest is an important natural resource providing livelihood to rural communities besides lots of environmental services to the human settlements.
