Abstract

Climate change became an important area of concern for India to ensure food and nutritional security for growing population. The impact of climate change on India is more vulnerable in view of the high population depending on agriculture. Evolving climate resilient agricultural technologies would increase farm production and productivity. Continuous management of natural and manmade resources constitute an integral part of sustaining agriculture in the era of climate change. National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) is a network project of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) launched with the aim to enhance resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change and climate vulnerability through strategic research, technology demonstration, capacity building and sponsored/competitive Grants. This study was concentrated on the biophysical impact of climate resilient technologies The study was conducted in two districts i.e., Coochbehar and Malda in two NIC

Keywords

Climate Change, Bio-physical impact, KVK, Adopted, Non adopted.

Conclusion

Considering the bio physical impact due to adoption of climate resilient technologies adopters have more mean impact score when compared with non adopters’ i.e. Adopters have 0.47 mean score and non adopters have 0.24 mean score. The bio physical impact of adoption of climate resilient technologies is also significantly higher in KVK adopted villages than non adopted villages.
