Building Climate Smart Farmers

NCCSD was set up with the objective of promoting sustainable livelihood, with the involvement of leadership, for farmers in the arena of climate change. Indian farmers have immense capacity to adapt and accept the challenges of climate change. The Indian farmer is an integral part of agricultural development and food security at local, national and global level. This book will provide simplified agricultural scientific tools that will help to engage our farmers to increase productivity and profits while protecting the environment and natural resources for future generations. The most important contribution which has added value is contribution by Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) team of scientists who visited our farmers and trained them. The book is combination of validated research and experiences of agriculture scientists, civil society members, farmers, government departments and of course it is not a final word on this subject. It is meant to be used keeping in view local field level situation & status of farmers. We are sure this will be useful to all stakeholders.
