Enhancing Farmers' Adaptation to Climate Change in Arid and Semi-Arid Agriculture of India; Evidences from Indigenous practices

The primary focus of this paper is on farmers' adaptation strategies against climatic variability in arid and semi-arid regions of India. The farmers' perceptions and coping practices are largely governed by village level variables governed by the weather conditions. The paper is based on the synthesis of village, farm and plot level information collected through different studies in arid and semi-arid regions of India over a period of nearly thirty years. T
