Transitioning to climate-smart agriculture by integrating clean energy and drought-resilient seeds substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions and shields vulnerable communities from crop failures.
Transitioning to climate-smart agriculture by integrating clean energy and drought-resilient seeds substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions and shields vulnerable communities from crop failures.
In Gujarat, local initiatives actively promote these solutions:
Drought-Resilient Seeds: -
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and the National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) have introduced drought-tolerant varieties of regional crops like gram, chickpeas, and mustard to local farms.
Clean Energy Adoption: -
Programs backed by the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture advocate for off-grid solar microgrids and solar-powered cold storage to eliminate post-harvest losses and lower reliance on fossil-fuel-based grid electricity.
