International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Conclusion Location specific conservation technologies, water conservation and their efficient management and adoption strategies as well as enabling policies on crop insurance along with robust early warning system, weather-based advisories will further facilitates enhancing the resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change and climate variability. The need for stress short duration and drought tolerant varieties has become paramount in the present context of climate change, apart from various adaptation and mitigation strategies to feed the everincreasing population. These stress tolerant cultivators can play an important role in coping with climate variability as well as enhancing the productivity and farmers income.
