ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON RAINFED AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY IN CENTRAL INDIA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 58
Abstract
Climate change is one of the most formidable development challenges faced by humanity today; its consequences are global and intergenerational. Vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters has a strong linkage with poverty and has the potential to create multiple stresses over any regional growth trajectory. There is need to mitigate these adverse effects of climate change through the adoption of sustainable land management practices such as zero tillage appropriate use of fertilizers, improved water management. Adverse climate effects which are most negative threaten crop productivity, hence the need to adopt measures that are sustainable and emit less GHGs in crop production enterprise and policy provisions strengthened to address the challenges. In this backdrop the present paper attempts (I) To evaluate the impact of drought on the yield of crops. (II) To identify the extent of awareness and assess coping mechanism followed by the farmers to climate change. (III) To identify the factors influencing in decision making on the coping mechanism to mitigate the impact of climate change.
