How to Implement Climate-Resilient Farming

In recent years, the agriculture sector has faced significant challenges due to climate change. Elevated temperatures and unpredictable rainfall have reduced crop yields across India and the world. Weather patterns have become increasingly volatile, with instances of unexpected floods in regions like the Middle East. The past years have seen a mix of rainfall levels, with the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicting above-normal rainfall this year. However, above-normal heat waves have also impacted everyone, including farmers. India receives an average of 800 to 1,100 mm of rainfall, but this varies due to diverse topography and regional rainy seasons, such as in South India, where it typically occurs in December.
