ADVANCES IN AGROMETEOROLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE AGRICULTURE

AGMET 2022

Inter and intra-seasonal fluctuations in the climate have a significant impact on the agricultural production system. Climate change is now a reality, as evident from the significant increase in CO₂ concentration and global mean temperature. Increasing levels of GHGs alter the energy balance between the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface, in turn increasing the temperature and modifying the chemical composition of the atmosphere. Extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, cold waves, heat waves, and other phenomena, have increased and impacted agricultural production systems, which will likely continue in the future. In addition, agriculture and allied sectors such as animal husbandry and fisheries are also influenced by climatic factors through biotic and abiotic stresses. As a result, India's food security is under threat due to climate change and climate variability.

Climate Resilient Agriculture (CRA) could be achieved by better management of farm resources, minimizing losses and sustaining the output with agrometeorological interventions. In view of knowledge sharing on the advancement in agrometeorological research, new concepts, hi-tech instruments, ICT, IoT, AI and ML technologies in climate studies, the AGMET 2022 has chosen the following themes.
