The present book highlight ethnographic, demographic, nutritional ecological, economic and cultural profiles in relation to the scenario of food and nutition of five tribal communities of India viz., the Lodhas, the Mahalis, the Koras, the Santals and the Mundas. The study pinpoints nutritional anthropology of the foregoing communities to assess and recommend ameliorative measures. The profiles of different aspects referred to above are interwoven with one another and conjointly provide to frame a holistic picture which would hopefully better equip the readers to assess the anthropo-nutritional problems of the tribal communities and also find out the plausible solution to them. Micro-study of this kind on the tribal population is probably the maiden venture in the Indian context. The book would be helpful to the planners, administrators public health workers, nutritionists, medical personnels, biochemists, sociologists, anthroopologists and other interested in anthropo-nutritional profile of the Indian tribes.
