The two farmers Dilbag Singh and Paramjit Singh talk about the changes in weather and how they are trying to adapt. Both have had to switch to hybrid seeds that require less pesticides and water, but still produce higher yields. Paramjit is also trying to grow poplar trees to complement his agric...

How smallholder farmers adapt to climate change: Stories from India
Maintaining high levels of productivity under climate change will require developing cultivars that are able to perform under varying drought and heat stresses and with maturities that match water availability. The CSM-CERES-Sorghum model was used to quantify the potential benefits of altering cr...

Climate change is projected to intensify drought and heat stress in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) crop in rainfed regions. This will require developing high yielding groundnut cultivars that are both drought and heat tolerant. The crop growth simulation model for groundnut (CROPGRO-Groundnut mo...
