摘要

Regardless of the circumstances involved, such as war and persecution, climate change, and socio-economic vulnerabilities, the impact of forced migration is profound and extensive. Forced migration is an answer to climate change and associated disasters. Still, however, the loss and grief associated with migration are deep, especially for the traditional farmers who are forcefully moved while young members of their family do so. This study intends to shed light on understanding the grief and loss associated with forced migration from Kuttanad, the ‘rice bowl of Kerala’, India. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-method design, the study comprehensively elucidates the experiences of forced migrants and their precarity. The study captures a detailed picture of the grief and loss associated with migration and the general mental health of farmers. Snowball sampling was used to select the participants for the quantitative part of the study. Purposeful sampling within the quantitative sample was used to recruit participants for in-depth interviews for the qualitative part of the study until data saturation was reached. By integrating qualitative and quantitative findings, the study intends to contribute to the knowledge of multifaceted dimensions of climate-induced forced farmer migration and the need for collaborative efforts from the local community, government, non-government, and civil society organizations to address the issue.
