ABSTRACT
Agriculture is the major occupation of people residing in the developing countries like India where climatic changes are a serious concern. Increase in temperature, changes in the rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme climatic conditions such as floods and severe droughts are being common in different agroecological zones of India, thus posing a threat to the India’s food security. To deal this, the climate-resilient farming is the best option which aims to lower the impact of agriculture on climate change and to increase the resiliency of farms on account of a changing climate. The production of rice in India is concentrated to the northeastern part where the increased precipitation and submergences of rice plots in addition to water stress condition cause significant damage in every cropping period, whereas the crop production is being affected by the drought in the upland areas. Therefore, there is a strong need of appropriate strategies and recent advanced agricultural technology for the betterment of rice farmers of the country. Climate-resilient farming is one such technique for improving the economic and environmental security of poor people.
