Climate-resilient agriculture: enhance resilience toward climate change

Abstract Agriculture is one of the sector which is directly affected by the changing scenarios of climate change. Different processes occurring such as drought, flood, temperature fluctuations are posing significant impact on the yield of different crops. Adoption of smart practices and technologies for climate resilient agriculture are suggested to adopt in different parts of country. These climate smart practices are integrating farmers with related institutes, technologies, planning, financial packages, and policies. The overall goal of all these practices is to manage water, energy, nutrient, weather and knowledge in such a way so that resilience towards the climate change could be developed. Selection of site specific crop varieties, customized technologies and tools, crop diversification, integration of forecasting tools and resource management at community levels are few measures which are effective in developing climate resilient agriculture.
