Uttarakhand Climate Responsive Rainfed Farming Project

active

The project will work towards (i) reduction of net GHG emission relative to control villages with similar cropping pattern; (ii) achievement of resilience of production systems by adopting precision-farming techniques; and (iii) increased profitability through enhanced productivity, reduced cost of cultivation, and additional income through carbon credits. An integrated digital platform for evidence-based decision-making will support the project activities. The project will focus on small and marginal farmers, including women farmers, and landless households. The project will be implemented in 1,226 villages covering a catchment area of 243,418 hectares (ha), which includes arable and non-arable land.
