“…46.086/farm household over farmers in the control village. The findings are consistent with studies specifically in an Indian context [34,36,[74][75][76], which quantified the incremental benefits of climate smart technologies and study in Telangana (Nalgonda, Mahbubnagar and Warangal districts), which concluded that these technologies sustainably increase incomes and improve livelihoods [35,77]. Investment in agriculture was positively and significantly associated with farm incomes and a rupee investment in agriculture, increases the farm income by Rs.…”

Asia is the region most vulnerable to climate change and India is ranked as one of the most climate vulnerable countries in the world, frequently affected by natural disasters. In this study, we investigated the impact of drought on crop productivity, farmer’s employment and income. The difference-in-difference model (DID) and stepwise multiple linear regression (MLR) were employed to quantify the impact of adopting climate resilient technologies (CRTs) on farm household income during a drought. The factors influencing farm incomes were analyzed using MLR. The study used survey data collected from the drought prone district of Telangana, India. Sixty farmers each from a village adopted under the National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) program and a control village were interviewed. Primary data on the socio-economic characteristic of farmers, cropping pattern, income composition, productivity of major crops, employment and climate resilient interventions adopted by farmers were collected using a well-structured schedule. The results reveal that income crop cultivation was the major contributor to household income (60%) followed by livestock rearing. Farmers reported that droughts decreased the income from crops by 54 per cent and income from livestock rearing by 40 per cent. The farmers belonging to the climate resilient village had 35 per cent higher incomes compared to those in the control village and it was estimated to be Rs. 31,877/farm household/year during droughts using the DID estimate. Farm size, livestock possession, adoption of CRTs and investment in agriculture were the determining factors influencing farm income. Thus, farmers especially in drought prone regions need to be encouraged and supported to adopt cost effective, location specific climate resilient technologies.

“…The informants affirmed the beneficiaries’ claims that the lack of technical know-how threatens the functionality of the system. Narayanamoorthy and Devika ( 2018 ) and Mudimu ( 2003 ) reiterated that smallholder farmers lack knowledge, training and appropriate managerial skills to manage some of the technologies. This leads to inefficiencies, wastage of resources and technical failures of the provided equipment.…”

“…Developing irrigation schemes is a requirement for tackling household food insecurity in dry areas. Irrigation increases the capacity to produce food in severe drought conditions and expands possibilities for agriculture production and crop diversification (Narayanamoorthy & Devika 2018 ; ZimVAC 2018 ). Small-scale irrigation consisting of sprinkler/overhead irrigation, flood irrigation, furrow irrigation and drip irrigation systems has been identified as ideal for supplementing rain-fed agriculture and ensuring food security, especially in low-rainfall areas (Mango et al 2018 ; Riesgo et al 2016 ).…”

Increasing food production by developing small-scale irrigation schemes is a requirement for tackling household food insecurity. Strategies, such as the World Vision, Enhancing Nutrition, Stepping Up Resilience and Enterprise, have been established to enhance food availability in the drought-prone Burirano Ward 4, Chipinge, Zimbabwe, through the drip irrigation intervention. This study analysed the extent to which the drip intervention has increased food production, abilities, income and nutrition of households. Consequently, the key factors impacting the performance of the drip irrigation scheme were assessed. The study utilised a mixed-method convergent parallel design, drawing from semi-structured questionnaires administered on a census of 40 household beneficiaries as well as a focus group discussion of five key informants directly linked to the Chidzadza irrigation scheme, Burirano Ward 4, Chipinge, Zimbabwe. The findings show that the drip irrigation scheme significantly increased households’ food production abilities, nutrition and income. The main factors responsible for the success of the drip irrigation scheme are cheap labour from household members and agriculture extension support. Issues that prevent the success of the scheme include erratic rain supplies and damaged water pipes. Strategies to increase household food production through the drip irrigation scheme include maintenance of water pipes, an increase in water catchment areas and water availability through solar-powered borehole systems.

“…With 50% water application, the highest water use efficiency was acquired under polyethylene mulch. The impacts of economic and resource on drip irrigation including B/C manner using the survey data of okra cultivation have been studied in [20]. The study of the drip irrigation usage demonstrated that it can decrease nearly 15% of planting cost to save up to 47% of electrical energy and water quantity, and boost 49% of okra yield.…”

The systems of trickle irrigation offer the potential influential irrigation to increase crop yields and have been proven reasonable according to the engineering and agricultural opinion particularly in barren areas. Trickle irrigation systems that have been offered comparatively lately in Arab countries have demonstrated to save huge amounts of water and enhance crop yield. The computational program (Trickle Irrigation System Design, TISD) connected with the economic procedures were used to research the environmental and economic conditions of the agriculture system. The conditions of environment comprised the type of soil, the topography of land, the climate areas, the water quantum and quality, and the dimensions of land. The conditions of economic included the interest rates of nominal and real, the principal price of land, and the rates of labor and energy escalation. The research deemed the ratio of B/C indicating the effects of environmental and economic parameters applying the system of trickle irrigation. The research presented the crop rotation of tomato-sesame as a line-source, and the point-source was represented by citrus trees. The research results revealed a significant impact on the ratio of B/C for the parameters; soil type, land topography, and water quality. The other parameters evidenced a variety impacts among considerable, small, and negligible on the B/C ratio. The study represents a worthy perception for institutional considerations in agricultural economics.
