Crop Diversification and Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity, especially in vulnerable rural and tribal communities. Seba Jagats efforts to promote crop diversification focus on mitigating the risks associated with monoculture farming by introducing farmers to a variety of drought-resistant, pest-resistant, and climate-resilient crops. These include a mix of traditional and modern varieties, such as pulses, vegetables, legumes, and climate-resilient cereals. By introducing diversified crops, Seba Jagat enhances soil health, improves water use efficiency, and reduces the dependency on external fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers are trained on crop rotation, mixed cropping systems, and intercropping techniques that optimize land use, prevent soil degradation, and improve overall farm resilience. These strategies help communities better adapt to changing climatic conditions, ensuring long-term sustainability and food security. Additionally, crop diversification boosts farmers income by opening up new markets and reducing the impact of price volatility on single crops.
