The international organization for standardization has defined the traceability as the ability to follow the movement of food or feed through the specified stages of production, processing and distribution.Chilli is one of the principal spice exported to several countries during the pre and post-globalization era. Pesticide residues and presence of Aflatoxins in the samples of chilli cautioned the import destinations to choose the concept of traceability. Traceability addresses the hygienic production, processing and value addition practices stage by stage and framed certain minimum standards for export of chilli. Following the standards, how the traceability is addressed from farm to fork is discussed in detail and at the same time the socio-economic impact of traceability is also addressed for redefining the trade.Keywords
Traceability, Traceability Systems, Value Chain, Socio-Economic Impact of Farming Community.

Rapid land use change has taken place in Tamil Nadu over the past three to four decades due to accelerated cultivation, industrialization and urbanization. Growth of population influenced increased food requirements. In order to meet the basic requirements, the Government has planned to increase the irrigation facilities and the agricultural inputs, (High yielding varieties (HYV), seeds, agricultural implements etc.) to the farmers and also implement the interventional schemes and incentives to enhance farmer’s income. Land use change may be examined by considering conversion of forest to crop and rangeland; losses of productive land through various factors; conversion of wetlands to agriculture and urban use: and conversion of other types of land to various human uses. The key to meet the present day challenges lies in the integrated management of the natural resources. Therefore, the knowledge of soil and land resources with respect to their spatial distribution, characteristics, potentials, limitations and their suitability for alternate land uses helps in formulating strategies to obtain higher productivity on sustained basis. With these views in mind an attempt has been made to study the spatial and temporal changes in the land use in Tamil Nadu.Keywords
