No results found.India’s natural resource base is subject to serious and continuous degradation and is recognised as a challenge for India’s growth Agricultural growth in India should be sustained by addressing problems affecting the production systems of rainfed agriculture (areas that depend on rainfall for agriculture water needs and have few or no irrigation sources), which currently accounts for over which cover more than a half of total cropped area, or 74 million hectares, in the country Approximately 40 percent of the population is supported by rainfed agriculture, which accounts for a large share of cropped areas for the production of rice, pulses, oilseeds and coarse cereals, among others Rainfed areas also host the majority of livestock ( goat and sheep), and span several agroecological regions, many of which also have high levels of poverty A lack of institutional development, support systems, availability of appropriate inputs, credit, market access, agricultural research and extension has led to the cumulative neglect of rainfed areas for years and caused widespread issues within farming communities Rainfed production systems have received little attention, which has contributed to the environmental degradation of many rainfed areas, and is further challenged by the risks of climate suffer There is a strong need to focus on diverse local production systems that contribute to food and nutrition, as well as livelihoods and income security, by moving away from single commodity intensification approaches and more towards location specific farming systems. -
