Sustainable Agriculture is crucial for ensuring the food and livelihood security of the country and hence it is important that this sector becomes resilient to increasing climatic variabilities and changes. A resilient agricultural production system is the pre-requisite to sustain productivity in the event of extreme climatic variabilities.

Although Indian farmers have evolved many coping mechanisms over the years, these have fallen short of an effective response strategy in dealing with recurrent and intense forms of extreme events on the one hand and gradual changes in climate parameters including rise in surface temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, increase in evapo-transpiration rates and degrading soil moisture conditions on the other.

The need of the hour is, therefore, to synergise modern agriculture research with the indigenous wisdom of the farmers to enhance the resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change.
