"Across the world, rainfed areas are hotspots of poverty, malnutrition and degradation of natural\r\nresources. In India, of 142 m ha of arable lands, 60% is rainfed. Karnataka has the second largest\r\narea under rainfed agriculture only after Rajasthan in the country. Farmers’ crop yields in dryland\r\nareas are quite low (1.0 -1.5 t ha-1), about two to five times below potential yield. Recent findings\r\nfrom the ‘Comprehensive Assessment of Water for Food and Water for Life’ revealed that the\r\nmillennium development goal of reducing the number of poor people by half can be met only through\r\nefficient use of scarce water resources for agriculture. Food production can be increased substantially\r\nin rainfed areas by applying enhanced water use efficiency measures, improving soil health status,\r\nand implementing other new technologies in an integrated approach. It is evident that the vast\r\npotential of rainfed agriculture can be unlocked by using available scientific technologies including\r\nimproved cultivars.\r\nRecognizing the problem, the Department of Agriculture (DoA), Government of Karnataka (GoK),\r\nhas adopted science-led initiatives for achieving impact oriented development in the state. In\r\nthis endeavor, it has sought to bring in international expertise to unlock the potential of rainfed\r\nagriculture in the state. Bhoochetana, the farmer-centric initiative taken up by GoK has benefited\r\nmore than 4.3 million farm households in the state. In addition, the government has initiated a\r\nnumber of innovative measures to improve agricultural production and livelihood of farmers in the\r\nstate during the last four years.\r\nRealizing high impacts in terms of increased agricultural productivity, increased gross value of\r\nagriculture production and improved livelihoods, the state government requested ICRISAT to lead a\r\nconsortium of CGIAR institutions working in India, and to operationalize impact oriented research\r\nfor development with the aim of improving rural livelihoods. The ICRISAT-led consortium took up\r\nthis challenge and established a “proof of concept” for translating strategic research knowledge into\r\nimproving livelihoods through scaling up of the participatory research for development (PR4D) model.\r\nA number of meetings and stakeholder consultations were held to identify constraints and problems\r\nof all four pilot locations, and the project was begun in 2013-14..."^^ .
