Abstract/Description: | India is becoming more vulnerable to climate change as extreme weather events are on rise and major portion of population derive their livelihoods from agriculture and allied sectors. Depending on the magnitude and distribution of warming, climate change impact projections for the mid-term (2012-2039) period for India indicated a 4.5 to 9% yield reduction which may roughly amounts to 1.5% of GDP every year. Realizing the impact of climate change, the Government of India has prioritized the research on climate change and a mega project “National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA)” has been initiated in 2010-2011 with the following objectives: x To enhance the resilience of Indian agriculture covering crops, livestock and fisheries to climatic variability and climate change through development and application of improved production and risk management technologies x To demonstrate site specific technology packages on farmers’ fields for adapting to current climate risks x To enhance the capacity building of scientists and other stakeholders in climate resilient agricultural research and its application. In the vulnerable regions, the outcome from the project is anticipated to bring enhanced resilience of agricultural production systems to climate variability. The project is comprised of four components. x Strategic research on adaptation and mitigation x Technology demonstration on farmers’ fields to cope with current climate variability x Sponsored and competitive research grants to fill critical research gaps x Capacity building of different stake holders In evolving strategic research in climate change, the foremost task would be identification of climatic risk prone areas. This in turn has to be followed by determination of location specific climatic risks and then strategies to overcome them. Also, utility of Agromet advisories to minimize the losses due to aberrant weather on short-term and climate change on long-term basis has to be assessed. In this backdrop, AICRPAM-NICRA project has been initiated with the following objectives: x To create weather and crop information acquisition and monitoring system through AWS and Field Information Facilitators' (FIF) network. x Delineating hotspots for weather anomalies at micro - level through benchmark survey and climatic analysis at selected districts/villages/sites for principal cropping/farming systems. x Quantification of crop responses to weather and its extremes by integrating statistical and dynamic modeling techniques. x Customizing micro-level Agromet advisories and their efficient dissemination through ICTs. x Development of strategies to combat weather extremes through field research. x Conduct awareness/training programs on climate change, and workshops for capacity building on Agromet advisories. |
