In India, we see that agriculture is dealing with many issues due to climate change. The climate is which is changing, is a factor in many aspects of agriculture. Indian agriculture is very much so an issue. We must put thought into how climate change will play out in Indian agriculture. It affects what Indian agriculture is able to grow, the water it has, the soil quality and the people in rural areas. Indian agriculture mainly depends on the monsoons. When the temp rises, and rain doesn’t come at the right time, it causes issues like floods, droughts and other bad weather for Indian agriculture. This study reports on what we may see in the future for Indian agriculture in the context of climate change. We looked into this issue via government reports, research papers and other publications. We found out that which crops like rice, wheat and maize will have issues with yield due to increased heat, pest issues and also changes in rainfall. Also, we will see issues with the animal, fish and plant life. We put forth that we can solve these issues through climate-smart agricultural practices. We can use drought-resistant seeds. Also, our plants and crops, like wheat and rice, which do well in water, we must find ways to get that water to them. We really see that water is key for growth in crops like wheat and rice. We have to come up with solutions for water delivery for our crops.
This is very much so with farmers. The government is supporting them as they are very much the backbone of our country. They grow wheat and rice for us. The government has put in place plans to support the farmers. These include Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana and National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture. Also, they are putting in these plans to help the farmers. What the plans do is they give farmers methods to grow crops and a water supply for their farms. With the help of these plans, farmers are to grow a variety of crops. The National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture and Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana are what we have for the farmers to grow more. Farmers get water for their crops through these plans.
The National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture and the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana are some of what we have to look at. I see Indian agriculture doing very well in the future. This is great news for Indian agriculture. Studies report that we will see this if we apply science. Also, we as a government must back this.
They need to pass on new knowledge to farmers. There is resource management to consider. Develop a weather-resistant hybrid crop and find ways to grow crops consistently over a long period. But they also need systems that strive to be environmentally friendly. This will help Indian agriculture. The environment will be safe. In this way, we can ensure people get access to food for a time, and villages can become established. Climate agricultural systems are the answer to climate change in Indian agriculture, where the balance is crucial between feeding people & saving the environment. This is how we can be a better.
