Global warming, climate change are today’s reality which nobody can escape. In the last 50 years, there has been an increasing trend of rise in temperature of about 0.13°C/decade and by the end of 21st century it would be somewhere between 1.1 and 6.4°C. This global warming has led to change in climate-related parameters of rainfall, soil moisture and sea level, which directly affects the agriculture. Farmers are worst affected due to worsening rainfall patterns and recurrent droughts. Lack of awareness and information among farmers about the risks of climate change would play a havoc unless they are educated about it and encouraged to use low carbon farming technologies through information dissemination and capacity building.
