Climate Smart Agriculture (MP)

Crop Choice and Crop Preparation Innovations (CSAE)


Description
• Course Pitch
To tackle the productivity challenges posed by climate change, adopting a sustainable approach to crop production decisions is essential. The choice and preparation of crops, particularly in diversified production, play a critical role in improving soil fertility. This course focuses on the approach toward decisions for sustainable crop production systems, especially agroforestry.

This course is designed to gain clarity and confidence on the below topics:
--->Understanding the Various Tiers of Sustainable Approaches in Food Production
--->Comprehending Sustainable Strategies for Alleviating Climate Change Challenges
--->Appreciating the Role of Sustainable Seed Development Approaches
--->Recognizing the Significance of Sustainable Soil Preparation Techniques and Their Advantages for Enhancing Soil Fertility
--->Grasping the Role of Agroforestry in Implementing Crop Diversification Strategies to Address Climate Change Challenges
