This book discusses various climate smart agro-technologies, their
technical and economic feasibility across heterogeneous
agro-climatic conditions, assessing farmers' willingness to adopt
those technologies, impact of climate smart technology in
agricultural production and possible policy and investment
opportunities to upscale it. Containing eight chapters, the book
starts with a discussion about the methodological aspects of
priority setting of the farm technologies across various regions of
South Asia including Eastern Indo-Gangetic plain, Western
Indo-Gangetic Plain and arid regions. Using data from field based
trials and expert solicitations, the book next deliberates on a
list of feasible technologies, assessed by constructing climate
smart Feasibility Index. Further on, there is an analysis, using
stated preference method, of the behaviour of farmers in adopting
climate smart technologies. Preference of women farmers has been
given a special focus in this book. After discussing the method
priority setting of the farm technologies, impact of climate smart
technologies has been analysed using real time data. Government
policies have been reviewed with the view of achieving climate
smart agriculture in South Asia. The book also describes the
optimization modelling framework for investment allocation and
technology prioritization. The model integrates both the
bio-physical and the economic optimization model to capture the
agro-climatic heterogeneity within the region and the variability
of technical feasibility across regions and crops. Results of this
model will help policy makers to identify how much to invest, where
to invest and what technologies to prioritize for investments.
