Project Detail:
Maharashtra Project on Climate Resilient Agriculture Phase - II (P505563).
The Project Development Objective is to improve resilience and profitability of small farmers by promoting resource-use efficiency and emission-competitive production systems with data-driven decision tools.
Aligned to the GoM Vision 2030 and Maharashtra State Adaptation Action Plan on Climate Change MSAAPCC, PoCRA II aims to support the GoM’s priority to transform agriculture into a productive system for smallholder farmers through science- and data-based interventions for improving efficiency of natural resources and external inputs. The project would both build upon the successful proof of concept demonstrated by PoCRA and scale up the outcomes by expanding coverage to nearly 20 percent of the state. Building on PoCRA’s achievements—particularly its cutting edge digital agriculture platform and robust implementation framework—PoCRA-II aims to leverage these foundations to provide customized on-farm technical services. These services, tested and improved by a consortium of experts, are intended to reduce input costs to boost farmers’ income, and integrate climate resilience into routine agricultural practices. PoCRA-II will follow precision farming with special emphasis on cost of cultivation so that farmers’ witness increased profitability.
