Climate change is now considered as a major issue by the researchers, governments, civil
society organizations, farmers and general public. It is a focal point of discussions at community
to global levels. With respect to agriculture, there is a need to evolve a strategy containing
technologies, policies, investments and interventions that help communities and governments
prepare for the adverse impacts of climate change in terms of adaptation on one hand and
those measures that will help mitigation by slowing down the emission of GHGs on the other.
It is desirable that any such strategy considers farmers’ beliefs, perceptions, responses, policy
preferences, etc. Since Indian agriculture is diverse and climate change is complex, the nature
of problem and the farmers’ responses will be diverse and heterogeneous. Understanding what
farmers think with respect to climate change is also essential for mainstreaming adaptation into
development planning which is considered as key to enhancing resilience. Thus, there is a need
for formulation of policies that are regionally differentiated and acceptable to farmers. Therefore,
an effort was made to understand farmers’ perceptions as part of the ICAR-led scheme ‘National
Initiative (now Innovations) on Climate Resilient Agriculture’ (NICRA) launched during 2011.
