Extreme environmental events and highvulnerability to climate change

Low agricultural productivity, poor land use and

low cropping intensity Low productivity of Rabi crops and little high value

crops cultivation

Predominance of small and landless farmers Intrusion of saline water, water logging and

occasional breaches of embankment

Higher rates of poverty and malnutrition

` Technological break through for increasing productivity-

New varieties and breeds, plant and animal health

systems, Farmers Field School (FFS)

` Seasonal and occasional quality surface water available

for irrigation

increased cropping intensity, reducing post-harvestlosses, modeling of climate events and options of crop

diversification
