TRANSCRIPT
BACKGROUND
Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian economy. Agriculture isone of the primary sources of livelihood and leads to income generation foraround 263 million or 22 per cent of the population. Moreover, agriculture isresponsible for the secondary livelihood source of around 70 percent of thepopulation. To secure future of agriculture and to improve livelihood of half ofIndia’s population, adequate attention needs to be given to improve the welfareof farmers and to raise agricultural income.
Agrometeorology by definition investigates adaptation strategies toweather and climate in raising crops, trees, livestock and fish. It studieswater, heat, air and related biomass development in the agricultural productionenvironment, including disasters, and their socio-economic consequencesfor farmers as decision makers. This leads to agrometeorological servicesfor response farming with irrigation scheduling, early warnings, microclimatemanipulation and the application of weather forecasts in a changing andincreasingly variable climate.
Enhancing resilience of agriculture to climate risk is of paramountimportance for protecting livelihoods of farmers. It is predicted that for everytwo-degree rise in temperature, the agriculture GDP of India will reduce by fivepercent. In this context the worst hit will be small-land holders and producers,as their ability to cope with the speed and intensity of climate events, is an issueof concern. The need for a climate resilient approach to agriculture is criticalfor India with 60 percent of Indian agriculture being rain fed and more than80 percent farmers are small-land holders. In the context of climate changeand variability, farmers need to adapt quickly to enhance their resilience toincreasing threats such as droughts, floods and other extreme climatic eventin order to sustain crop yields and farm income.
In this context, the Association of Agrometeorologists (AAM), Anand incollaboration with Kerala Agricultural University (KAU), Thrissur is organisinga National Seminar on ‘Agrometeorological interventions for enhancingfarmers’ income (AGMET-2020)’ during January 20-22, 2020 at College ofHorticulture, KAU, Vellanikkara, Thrissur, Kerala.
BROAD THEMES OF THE SEMINAR1. Climate variability & change: projections, impact on agriculture and mitigation
2. Micrometeorological modifications for climate resilient farming
3. Extreme weather events and its impact on agriculture
4. Crop weather models for enhancing farmers’ income
5. Biotic and abiotic stress management for climate resilient farming
6. Applications of remote sensing and GIS for enhancing crop production
7. Crop-weather-pest-disease relationship and forewarning under changing climate
8. Use of ITK and ICT tools for climate resilient farming
9. Forest resilience, biodiversity and climate change
10. Interventions to mitigate climate change on Livestock, Poultry and Fisheries
