Abstract :
Climate change has been a burgeoning issue
that threatens the existence of the human race in the
future. Although the global community have risen up to
the problem and is aspiring to mitigate its effect, the
solutions are long term and numerous problems seem to
be irreversible. The world is already facing economic
slowdown, social injustices along with severe
environmental crisis. Besides this, emerging planetary
problems have opened up a new chapter that has to be
addressed quickly for a better tomorrow. Since
mitigations have longer gestation period before they can
show positive results, it should be suitably complemented
with stronger adaptation measures. A country like India
with higher population concentration, which also needs a
generous investment in people centric activities is likely
to be affected by greenhouse gas emissions and its
consequences for decent number of years . Some of the
regions are likely to face a greater threat due to its
geomorphology, climatic characteristics and ill planned
development process. Water deficit in the region owing
to climatic uncertainties are often followed by economic
turmoil. Agricultural sufficiency may be hampered due
to a cocktail of issues including degenerative methods of
landscape destruction and misuse of valuable resources
like soil and water. Being primarily an agriculture-based
economy, the country should focus on agro ecological
reforms that can ensure long term sustainability and
building a climate resilient society. This paper attempts
to visualise the impending problems in vast stretches of
the country that are at risk from lowering agricultural
productivity. The researchers lay emphasis on
regenerative methods of agricultural production as a
community-based learning tool for adapting to climate
change.
