Abstract

According to the World Bank, Climate-smart agriculture encompasses the comprehensive management of landscapes, including land under cultivation, livestock, woodland areas, and aquatic resources, addressing the interconnected issues of food security and climate change. United Nations Population Fund or UNFPAs Population dashboard shows India’s population at 1406.6 million with an annual average rate of population increase at 0.9% from 2020-25. To meet this food demand, it is imperative for India to adapt sustainable agricultural practices. The IPCC (Inter-governmental panel on climate change) report has pointed out that climate change has affected food security due to global warming and extremes of temperatures around the World. In light of these facts, India faces the unique challenge of developing a path of enhancing the country’s food supply, ensuring water availability while minimizing agricultural GHGs (Greenhouse emissions) which are estimated to be 14% of its total GHG emissions. In the 2021 Global Climate Risk Index (CRI), India was ranked 7th, with a CRI score of 16.67. This paper aims at understanding the theoretical and conceptual framework of climate smart agriculture and presents an insight into how the objectives of food sufficiency, change in climatic conditions and greenhouse gas emissions are being met in India through policies, institutions and financial models.

印度的气候智能型农业实践

据世界银行称，气候智能型农业包含对地貌的综合管理，包括耕地、牲畜、林地和水产资源，以解决粮食安全和气候变化等相互关联的问题。联合国人口基金人口仪表板显示，印度人口为 1.4066 亿，2020-25 年间年均人口增长率为 0.9%。为满足这一粮食需求，印度必须采用可持续的农业生产方式。政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）的报告指出，由于全球变暖和世界各地的极端气温，气候变化已经影响到粮食安全。鉴于这些事实，印度面临着一个独特的挑战，即如何发展一条既能增加国家粮食供应、确保水资源供应，又能最大限度减少农业温室气体排放的道路，据估计，农业温室气体排放占其温室气体排放总量的 14%。在 2021 年全球气候风险指数（CRI）中，印度排名第七，CRI 得分为 16.67。本文旨在了解气候智能型农业的理论和概念框架，并深入探讨印度如何通过政策、机构和金融模式来实现粮食充足、气候条件变化和温室气体排放等目标。

期刊介绍： With ICT pervading everyday objects and infrastructures, the ‘Future Internet’ is envisioned to undergo a radical transformation from how we know it today (a mere communication highway) into a vast hybrid network seamlessly integrating knowledge, people and machines into techno-social ecosystems whose behaviour transcends the boundaries of today’s engineering science. As the internet of things continues to grow, billions and trillions of data bytes need to be moved, stored and shared. The energy thus consumed and the climate impact of data centers are increasing dramatically, thereby becoming significant contributors to global warming and climate change. As reported recently, the combined electricity consumption of the world’s data centers has already exceeded that of some of the world''s top ten economies. In the ensuing process of integrating traditional and renewable energy, monitoring and managing various energy sources, and processing and transferring technological information through various channels, IT will undoubtedly play an ever-increasing and central role. Several technologies are currently racing to production to meet this challenge, from ‘smart dust’ to hybrid networks capable of controlling the emergence of dependable and reliable green and energy-efficient ecosystems – which we generically term the ‘energy web’ – calling for major paradigm shifts highly disruptive of the ways the energy sector functions today. The EAI Transactions on Energy Web are positioned at the forefront of these efforts and provide a forum for the most forward-looking, state-of-the-art research bringing together the cross section of IT and Energy communities. The journal will publish original works reporting on prominent advances that challenge traditional thinking.
