Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) combined with Gramin Krishi Mausam Sewa (GKMS) offers significant benefits to rural farming communities facing the challenges of climate change. CSA helps farmers manage risks such as droughts, floods, and erratic rainfall by promoting practices that enhance productivity and income sustainably. At the same time, GKMS provides real-time, location-specific weather-based agro-advisories that guide farmers in making informed decisions on sowing, irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting. These advisories are disseminated through various channels like SMS, mobile apps, and social media in local languages, ensuring they are accessible and easily understood. CSA practices also contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through techniques like resourceefficient farming and conservation agriculture. The integration of GKMS further supports risk management by issuing timely weather alerts, helping farmers prepare for adverse conditions. This synergy leads to optimized use of inputs, cost savings, and improved yield stability. Initiatives like Climate-Smart Villages showcase the practical application of these strategies, empowering smallholder farmers to adapt effectively. Overall, the combination of CSA and GKMS strengthens resilience, enhances livelihoods, and supports long-term agricultural sustainability and food security.
