Resilient Agriculture |
In
response to climate change in the Himalayas,
we are supporting installation of polyhouses
and low cost water tanks to promote
off-season vegetable growing to improve
livelihood strategies of communities. With
the aim of preventing soil erosion from
agricultural fields and to improve
crop-production, embankments have been
installed on the riverbeds.
Workshops and training programmes and
exposure tours for youth on fisheries,
beekeeping, horticulture, vegetable growing
and fruit processing have been organised.
Under competitive grants component of
National Initiative on Climate Resilient
Agriculture (NICRA) supported by Central
Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture,
ICAR (CRIDA) Hyderabad with funding from
Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India
a project was jointly awarded to ourselves,
Doon University Dehradun and GBPIHED (Srinagar,
Garhwal) in September 2011. The study
covered issues of community perceptions
about climate change, explored health of the
village ecosystems leading to the concept of
resilience index. Several activities were
also carried out with communities.
