abstract: 'Climate change adds another dimension of challenges to the growth and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sustainability of Indian agriculture. The growing exposure to livelihood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shocks from climate variability/change and limited resource base of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rural community to adapt has reinforced the need to mainstream climate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adaptation planning into developmental landscape. However, a better
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
understanding of micro-level perceptions is imperative for effective and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
informed planning at the macro-level. In this paper, the grass-root
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
level perspectives on climate change impacts and adaptation decisions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were elicited at farm level in the Moga district of Punjab and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mahbubnagar district of Telangana, India. The farmers opined that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
climatic variability impacts more than the long-term climate change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They observed change in the quantum, onset and distribution of rainfall,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rise in minimum as well as maximum temperature levels, decline in crop
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
yield and ground water depletion. The key socio-economic effects of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
climate change included decline in farm income, farm unemployment, rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migration and increased indebtedness among farmers. In order to cope
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with climate variability and change thereon, farmers resorted to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adaptation strategies such as use of crop varieties of suitable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
duration, water conservation techniques, crop insurance and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation in non-farm activities and employment guarantee schemes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Farmers'' adaptation to changing climate was constrained by several
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
technological, socio-economic and institutional barriers. These include
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
limited knowledge on the costs-benefits of adaptation, lack of access to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and knowledge of adaptation technologies, lack of financial resources
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and limited information on weather. Besides, lack of access to input
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
markets, inadequate farm labour and smaller farm size were the other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
constraints. Further, on the basis of the grass-root elicitation a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Need-Based Adaptation'' planning incorporating farmers'' perceptions on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
climate change impacts, constraints in the adoption of adaptation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strategies and plausible adaptation options were linked with the most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suitable ongoing programmatic interventions of the Government of India.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The study concluded that micro-level needs and constraints for various
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adaptation strategies and interventions should be an integral part of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the programme development, implementation and evaluation in the entire
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
developmental paradigm.'
