Integrated Farming For Drought Resilience

The material centers on integrated farming as a practical adaptation approach for drought-prone agriculture in Southern India, with emphasis on rainfed and partially irrigated smallholder systems.

Evidence points to gains from diversified cropping, intercropping, conservation furrows, improved fodder, and livestock inputs, alongside broader government efforts to scale climate-resilient practices. The topic also sits within a wider policy and research push to reduce vulnerability from climate variability and crop failure.
