Project Detail:
The project will promote transition to production systems that are climate adaptive, use water, soil and other inputs more efficiently, result in optimum volume and stability in outputs, and are resilient to short and long-term climate variability. With productivity improvement, input-cost reductions, and crop diversification, together with a systematic agribusiness approach to add value to products from the hilly areas, an increase in farmers’ incomes and broader household resilience are expected. Specialised climate-smart land and water practices will also aim to reduce GHG emissions per unit of land while enhancing the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to act as carbon sinks, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The project will bring in consortia for the co-creation of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) knowledge and developing protocols for technologies and localised advisories. An agricultral digital platform will be developed to underpin the science base and delivering of services to farmers.
