  • Impact of climate change in agriculture sector in India and action plans [Elektronski vir]
    Baisya, Rajat K.
    Climate change is now a reality. Agriculture in India is likely to suffer losses due to heat, erratic weather and decreased availability of irrigation. Adaptation strategies can help minimize the ... impact. But that will come at a cost although not still accurately measurable and is likely to be high. This also requires new policy support, research and investment. However, cost of inaction will be still higher. Carbon dioxide level is now about 400 ppm which is likely to increase to about 450 to 600 ppm during 2050 and by 2100 it is likely to go up anything above 500 ppm to 1000 ppm if current situation is allowed to continue. This paper attempts to analyse the impact of climate change on Indian agriculture in terms of decreased productivity to be seen in relation to increase in population. And to counter that impact what are the measures being initiated.
