Description Globally rainfed agriculture is very important as 80% of the world’s agricultural land
area is rainfed and generates 58% of the world’s staple foods (SIWI 2001). Most food
for poor communities in the developing countries is produced in rainfed areas; for
example, in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) more than 95% of the farm land is rainfed,
while the corresponding figure for Latin America is almost 90%, for South Asia about
60%, for East Asia 65%, and for Near East and North Africa 75%. In India, 66% of
142 million ha arable land is rainfed...........
