Kashmir’s apple farming struggling with the effects of climate change.
For over 800 years, apples have been the backbone of Kashmir’s economy, providing a livelihood for thousands of families.
The apple industry accounts for as much as 90 per cent of the state’s overall fruit production – as well as a staggering 80 per cent of India’s apple produce.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
