"Most climate change models suggest rise in temperatures, sea levels, and extreme weather\r\nevents leading to unprecedented changes in various sectors, including agricultural production in the\r\nfuture years. Both developed and developing countries are affected, but developing countries with\r\nlittle adaptive capacity and limited resources are more vulnerable to climate change effects.\r\nDesertification, fresh water shortages, soil erosion, increased salinity, changed pest and disease\r\nscenario, biodiversity loss, reduction in length of growing period are some of the consequences that\r\nadversely affect the agricultural productivity straining the national economies. Detailed implications of\r\nclimate change effects, resilience of populations and coping mechanisms are not fully understood in\r\nmost countries in semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Asia and Africa 1, 2. ICRISAT, with the help of partners,\r\nis working to better understand the global, national and regional impacts of climate change on\r\nagricultural production and resource management and developing mechanisms to better cope up with\r\nthe climate change effects in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Africa and Asia1..."^^ .
