N2  - Global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C
between 2030 and 2052, if it continues
to increase at the current rate, as per the
report released in October 2018 by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Climate related risks for natural and human
systems are higher for global warming of
1.5°C than at present. Global atmospheric
concentration of CO2 has increased from
preindustrial level of 280 parts per million
(ppm) to 409 ppm in December 2018. Studies
show that climate change in India is real and
it is one of the major challenges faced by
Indian agriculture, more so in the semi-arid
tropics (SAT) of the country. ICRISAT under
the National Initiative on Climate Resilient
Agriculture (NICRA) project, quantified the
changes in areas under different climates in
India and their study indicated increase in
the semi-arid areas in the country...
N1  - The authors acknowledge the support received from all the partners and particularly the farmers who are now showing
interest in climate smart agriculture options and to register their mobile phone numbers for receiving weather-based
sowing and crop management advisories.
