The thrust,&#13;
lessons learnt and the impact of five main models used for building climate-smart villages have been&#13;
compiled as part of a feature in the ICRISAT Annual Report. Working for over 40 years in the semi-arid tropics, &#13;
with varied partners, ICRISAT has developed climate resilient dryland crops and a pool of climate-smart technologies &#13;
that are used in all of its climate-smart project interventions. Put together, the approaches focused on equipping farmers &#13;
to use climate-smart scientific interventions and innovations, use climate information for cropping decisions, &#13;
diversify livelihoods, link to markets, make agriculture profitable, rehabilitate and restore their environment &#13;
and influence policy makers...</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agriculture</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Farming Systems</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Cropping and Farming Systems</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Watershed Management</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Climate Change</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Digital Agriculture</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2016</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>ICRISAT</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Monograph</mods:genre></mods:mods>
