“…However, when compared to Eragrostis tef Zucc , a slightly higher elevation and more reliable rainfall with cool temperature ranges between 15 and 16.5 °C is required for optimizing Hordeum Vulgare L production. This indicates that cereal crops are affected by moisture availability and heat via the effect of stress on growth and possible death following drought and vice versa [ 4 , [47] , [48] , [49] ]. Similarly, a strike in very low or high temperatures in an area may result in a delay in the growing season or a decrease in crop growth.…”

“…Land suitability is the degree of pertinence of land for a certain use and answers the question, "what is to grow where?” [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ]. Whereas land evaluation is the land assessment when used to bid spatial information on the major restraints and prospects of land use for a specific user type, which will direct decision-makers on how resources are optimally utilized [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] ].…”

“…As a result, the Agricultural and Natural Resources Office of the Misha has shown a great concern to have a cropland suitability evaluation to achieve optimum land utilization for sustainable agricultural productivity in the district. Studies have also suggested that the inappropriateness of land for certain uses results in poor agricultural productivity [ 4 , [28] , [29] , [30] ]. In the present situation, where land is scarce, it is difficult to bring more areas under cultivation to satisfy the growing demand for food and raw materials.…”

“…Advances in satellite technology and GIS have made available geospatial datasets on topography, soil and land use, and land cover. Studies have demonstrated using multi‐criteria analysis to map cultivable areas (Anusha et al, 2023; Chen et al, 2010; Hussien et al, 2019; Karleuša et al, 2019; Özkan et al, 2020; Pal & Mahato, 2017; Ramamurthy et al, 2018).…”

The focus on irrigation infrastructure development in countries like India, including a significant allocation of the government's budget, highlights the importance of achieving a high benefit–cost ratio for these projects. However, past reviews have revealed instances where irrigation projects yielded low benefits. To address this issue and ensure a more effective evaluation of future projects, it is crucial to develop multi‐criteria and transdisciplinary approaches. In the context of Telangana, India, a study was conducted to determine cultivable land using a multi‐criteria and transdisciplinary approach. This approach aimed to provide assistance to managers involved in the planning, implementation, and monitoring of irrigation schemes. The study was undertaken as part of the Indian Young Water Professionals (IYWP) training program in 2022. The project followed a journey outlined within this paper as part of the training program. It utilized the Situation Understanding and Improvement Project (SUIP) as an inquiry‐based learning design program. This initiative facilitated the understanding and implementation of transdisciplinary learning approaches learned during the training program. The SUIP project demonstrated the benefits of incorporating a multi‐criteria framework, known as the [I]NSPECT model, into the decision‐making process. The [I]NSPECT model considers various perspectives, including individual, natural, social, political, economic, cultural, and technical factors. By incorporating these perspectives, the decision‐making process becomes more comprehensive and holistic. Overall, this study highlights the importance of adopting multi‐criteria and transdisciplinary approaches for evaluating irrigation projects. By incorporating diverse perspectives and considering various factors, it becomes possible to enhance the effectiveness of decision‐making processes in the realm of irrigation infrastructure development. The study concluded that the absence of transdisciplinary approaches, the inefficient techno‐managerial performance of governmental workplaces, and the non‐use of technological advancements to the fullest are primary reasons for gaps in the irrigation potential created and utilized in the State.

Agriculture, rooted in ancient civilizations, has shaped the course of human history. India, currently holding the second global position in farm output, witnesses over 50% of its workforce engaged in agriculture, contributing approximately 17-18% to the GDP in 2018. The agricultural and allied sectors constituted 15.4% of the GDP in 2016. India stands as the largest producer of fresh fruits, including mango, guava, papaya, and lemon, as per FAO 2014 statistics. Moreover, it ranks second globally in the production of dry fruits, textiles, pulses, fish, and vegetables. Cash crops like coffee and cotton have also played a pivotal role, with India ranking fifth in their production in 2010. Undeniably, agriculture is a cornerstone of India's economy. Despite India's prowess as a major exporter, consumer, and advocate of agriculture, the sector grapples with multifaceted challenges, significantly impacting rural development initiatives. Pressing issues include water scarcity, poverty, challenges in natural resource management, and environmental concerns. The complex interplay of factors, such as population growth, lack of information and awareness, limited technological knowledge, and the suboptimal implementation of agricultural programs in rural areas, further compounds these challenges. This article endeavors to meticulously identify the agricultural sector's predicaments, explore viable farm management solutions, and underscore the critical role of effective agricultural extension services in attaining sustainable yields and fostering rural development in the nation.
