Climate Resilient

Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA) is a method of sustainable agriculture in which available natural resources are used precisely to avoid wastage. 

Purpose

By seeing the effects of climate change on agriculture, a future-oriented farming system is required to solve the problem of the global food supply chain. 

Benefits

Climate Resilient Agriculture involves using drought-tolerant crops or cultivars and animal breeds to cultivate and raise them in regions with low rainfall. 

Water Management

Furrow-irrigated raised bed, micro-irrigation, rainwater harvesting structure, cover-crop, etc. practiced to increase the water use efficiency. 

Soil Health

To improve soil health practices such as reduced tillage, crop rotations, cover crops, using organic fertilizers, etc. are adopted. 

Cost Reduction

In Climate Resilient Agriculture, we reduce the use of agrochemicals, tillage, etc., and hence the cost of production decreases, which benefits farmers. 

Quality Produce

By practicing climate-resilient agriculture farmers can get quality produce in high quantity to get better returns from the market.
