The 37th Feed The Future-India Triangular Training (FTF-ITT) on “Climate Smart Agriculture
(CSA)” is being organized during 20th August - 3rd September 2019. The program is sponsored
by USAID representing United States and is being implemented jointly by National Institute
of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE), ICAR-Central Research Institute for
Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA) and Water and Land Management Training and Research
Institute (WALAMTARI). The main objective of the program is to address human and
institutional capacity gaps in Agriculture and allied sectors to achieve food and nutritional
security, in twenty selected African (Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana,
Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda) and Asian
(Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal and
Sri Lanka) countries.
Weather continues to play a dominant role in agricultural production despite many technological
advances made besides extreme events like drought, cyclone, hailstorm, unseasonal rain,
heat/cold waves etc. Climate Smart Agriculture is nothing but the approach for developing
agricultural strategies to secure sustainable food security under climate change. It is an
approach that helps to guide actions needed to transform and reorient agricultural systems
to effectively support development and ensure food security in a changing climate. CSA
aims to tackle three main objectives: sustainably increasing agricultural productivity and
incomes; adapting and building resilience to climate change; and reducing and/or removing
greenhouse gas emissions, where possible. Therefore, in this training program, the main
focus will be to apprise the participants about the current aspects of CSA, especially in the
Indian perspectives.
This compendium is a compilation of lectures pertaining to agro-climatological applications,
real-time contingency plans, on-field soil and water management measures, efficient crops and
cropping systems, water harvesting measures, farmers’ practices and Indian success stories
etc. for practicing Climate Smart Agriculture. The lectures include practical experiences of
ICAR-CRIDA, MANAGE and WALAMTARI. We believe that the information provided
in this book will be useful for researchers, academicians, extension personnel and policy
makers interested in Climate Smart Agriculture.
