The thrust, lessons learnt and the impact of five main models used for building climate-smart villages have been compiled as part of a feature in the ICRISAT Annual Report. Working for over 40 years in the semi-arid tropics, with varied partners, ICRISAT has developed climate resilient dryland crops and a pool of climate-smart technologies that are used in all of its climate-smart project interventions. Put together, the approaches focused on equipping farmers to use climate-smart scientific interventions and innovations, use climate information for cropping decisions, diversify livelihoods, link to markets, make agriculture profitable, rehabilitate and restore their environment and influence policy makers... publisher: ICRISAT date: 2016 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/9772/1/Building%20Climate-Smart%20Villages.pdf identifier: ICRISAT, - (2016) Building Climate-Smart Villages: Five approaches for helping farmers adapt to climate change.
