. .

Résumé :
The climate change debate has received more global attention than most other environmental issues in the 21st century. Evidence of the impacts of climate change has sharpened the arguments and presented a sense of urgency in designing action plans for resource-constrained. Agriculture is a climate-sensitive sector that provides a livelihood for more than 60% of Indians. Climate change will have a pronounced effect on Indian agriculture and particularly on marginalized farmers owing to their vulnerability. Therefore, now more than ever, robust and resilient adaptation and mitigating smart agricultural interventions are required. The agricultural response will be shaped by, but not limited to, a suite of integrated modern technologies, policies, finance, prepared institutions, and informed people, in particular, entrepreneurial youth, equipped with the knowledge, and capacity to tackle extreme events. This book on Climate-Smart Agriculture takes a holistic view and approach on this issue. It illustrates how one can realize the triple win of climate-smart agriculture: increasing food production while mitigating climate change in systems that are adapted to changing conditions.
