About Climate-Smart Agriculture (CCSA-2K26)

There has been a steady increase in the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the environment. Agriculture is reported responsible for up to almost half of all methane missions. The climate change prediction over India indicates that temperature rise is likely to be around 3O C and rainfall increase is expected by 10-20 per cent over central states of India by 2100 A.D. Already, the climate change triggered frequency of weather related events like floods, droughts, frost, cold and heatwaves has considerably increased during the last three decades. Continuation of such trends associated with rise in temperature is expected to melt ice, glaciers, re-distribute water flow in rivers, raise sea levels, sub-merge coastal habitats, islands, generate tsunamis and dislocate human and livestock settlements. Predicted spatial redistribution of precipitation, droughts, floods and water balance will change land use, pests, diseases and other ecological parameters. These scenarios will necessitate the need to devise research strategies to deal with predicted changes and to develop climate resilient practices to sustain agricultural productivity and to achieve food, nutrition, health and environment security in the 21st century....Read More
