| Summary, etc |
Integrated Risk Management in agriculture (IRM-A) has gained new ground amidst rising concerns about food security, sustainable livelihood and climate change nationally as well as internationally. For a country like India, where the majority of its population depends on agriculture, it becomes more important than any other nation. The declining agricultural productivity, climate change and rising resource intensity in Indian agriculture posed a serious threat to future food production. Therefore, a real paradigm shift is necessary in order to manage these threats and risks. In this context, this paper discusses and analyzes the issues around IRM-A taking evidences from three Indian states (Telangana/Gujarat/Maharashtra). The results of the study reveal that implementation of IRM-A has empowered farmers in these three regions by improving their technical and business knowledge in agriculture. It has also helped farmers to change their farming method (from a traditional resource intensive farming method to an eco-friendly method). The changed method/strategy has significantly reduced resource use, which has increased profit. An overall analysis of data suggests that the implementation of IRM-A creates an opportunity for farmers in these three states to make agriculture economically viable in a comprehensive term. – Reproduced |
