Climate change is no more an
environmental concern. It has emerged
as the biggest developmental challenge
for the planet.
( UNDP 2009)

Most Vulnerable Grids in India
India's economy closely tied to its natural resource base and may
face a major threat because of the projected changes in climate

Climate Change Projections
• Climatic Variability and Extreme Events
– Temperature Rise: 0.2 degree Centigrade per decade
– Mean Summer Rainfall to increase
– Frequent and Longer dry spells
– Shorter but Heavier Precipitation Events
– Hot Extremes, Heat Waves to be more common
– Contraction of Snow Cover
– Rise in Sea Levels
IPCC-2007
• Degradation of Natural Resources
(Land/Water/Bio- diversity)
7
Projected Impacts
• Increase in CO2 to 550 ppm increases yields of rice,
wheat, legumes and oilseeds by 10-20%.
• 1 degree C increase in temperature may reduce
yields of wheat, soybean, mustard, groundnut, and
potato by 3-7%. Much higher losses at higher
temperatures.
• Productivity of most crops to decrease only
marginally by 2020 but by 10-40% by 2100.
• Possibly some improvement in yields of chickpea,
rabi maize, sorghum and millets; and coconut in
west coast.
• Less loss in potato, mustard and vegetables in
north-western India due to reduced frost damage.
8
Projected Impacts
• Increased droughts and floods are likely to increase
production variability
• Considerable effect on microbes, pathogens, and
insects
• Increasing sea and river water temperatures are
likely to affect fish breeding, migration, and harvests
• Increased water, shelter, and energy requirement for
livestock
• Animal distress due to heat; effects on reproduction
• Imbalance in food trade due to positive impacts on
Europe and North America, and negative impacts on
us

Mandate of NMSA
To transform agriculture into an ecologically
sustainable climate resilient production
system by devising appropriate adaptation
and mitigation strategies for ensuring food
security, equitable access to food resources,
enhancing livelihood opportunities and
contributing to economic stability at the
national level.
National Mission For Sustainable Agriculture
 National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture
(NMSA) is one of the eight Missions under National
Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC);
 NMSA was accorded in principle approval by PM
Council on Climate Change (PMCCC) in Sept-2010;
 NMSA identifies 10 dimensions encompassing
whole agriculture sector with 17 deliverables
 NMSA Programmatic Intervention caters to 3-4
Dimensions covering 5 deliverables
 XII Plan proposal was considered by EFC on
20.08.2013 and approved by CCEA on 07.11.2013
 Mission made operational from 1st April, 2014

NMSA Objectives
 To make agriculture productive, sustainable, remunerative and
climate resilient;
 To adopt comprehensive soil health management practices based
on soil fertility status;
 To optimize utilization of water resources through efficient water
management;
 To conserve on-farm resources through appropriate resource
conservation technologies;
 To develop capacity of farmers & stakeholders in the domain of
climate change adaptation and mitigation measures;
 To pilot models in select blocks by mainstreaming rainfed
technologies and leveraging resources ;
 To establish an effective inter and intra Departmental/Ministerial
co-ordination for accomplishing key deliverables of NMSA

STRATEGIES
 Promoting effective management of available water resources and enhancing
water use efficiency through application of technologies coupled with demand
and supply side management solutions.
 Promoting integrated farming system covering crops, livestock & fishery,
plantation and pasture based composite farming for enhancing livelihood
opportunities, ensuring food security and minimizing risks from crop failure
through supplementary/ residual production systems.
 Dissemination and adoption of rainfed technologies with greater reach in
disadvantaged areas and leveraging resources from other schemes/Missions for
integrated development.
 Popularizing resource conservation technologies (both on-farm and off-farm)
and introducing practices that will support mitigation efforts in times of
extreme climatic events or disasters like prolonged dry spells, floods etc.
 Creating database on soil resources through land use survey, soil profile study
and soil analysis to facilitate adoption of location and soil-specific crop
management practices & optimize fertilizer use.
 Involving knowledge institutions and professionals in developing climate
change adaptation and mitigation strategies for specific agro climatic situations
and promoting them through appropriate farming systems.
 Establishing platform to liaison, review and coordinate implementation of
interventions outlined in Mission Document of NMSA under aegis of National
Action Plan on Climate Change
