“…The reason expressed by the satisfied farmers were documented in open ended questions, which revealed that cards helped farmers in identifying site-specific soil constraints affecting crop production, also helped to understand constraints/limitations affect land productivity and gave crops suitable to their soil condition and other suitable conservation measures to be adopted at farm level to manage land for better income. Thus a LRC provided an adequate knowledge and awareness among farmers to overcome constraints faced by farmers due inadequate knowledge about scientific conservation practices and land or soil limitations as reported by some studies (Kumar et al, 2021;Dupdal et al, 2021). The fraction of farmers who dissatisfied with the Land Resource Card information cite lack understanding due to illiteracy and prejudice in accepting new farming techniques and moving away from traditional practices, particularly older age farmers.…”

“…Over the years huge financial resources were invested in the watershed development programs, but most of conventional watersheds not given expected level of output in India (Lalitha et al, 2016;Hegde et al, 2018). The reasons attributes, lack of sitespecific watershed planning and implementation (Lalitha et al, 2016), improper utilization of natural resources both at farm and watershed level (Hegde et al, 2018) and Inadequate management of conservation practices by the farmers due to poor knowledge and awareness (Oraon et al, 2020;Dupdal et al, 2021;Kumar et al, 2021) are some of them to be noted from various studies. Meanwhile, many suggested need for detailed site-specific land resources database to identify the inherent potentials, constraints and suitability for various land use options that suit to local conditions (Bandyopadhyay et al, 2009;Nain et al, 2012;Kumar et al, 2014;Ramamurthy et al, 2016;Bandyopadhyay et al, 2018;Hegde et al, 2018;Sharma et al, 2018;Oraon et al, 2020) and such interventions must easily understandable and manageable by farming community for decision-making at local level (Doubling Farmers' Income, 2018).…”

The paper investigates an innovative extension approach of generation and distribution ofLand Resource Cards, developed from Land Resource Inventory database, used for site-specific farm resource management in watersheds adopted under World Bank funded Sujala-III project. Extent of reach, satisfaction level and training status of Land Resource Cardsin 12 model micro-watersheds located in different agro-climatic regions of Karnataka witha sample size of 720 farmers was assessed. The Land Resource Cards reached only 18 percent of farmers while 22 per cent of farmers were trained for its utilization. However, 77per cent were satisfied with the information provided and 23 per cent suggested for furtherimprovement in cards for greater utility. The overall farmer’s perception on capacity buildingon land resource cards revealed that they were very useful in farm-level resourcemanagement. Hence, need for replication of similar approach in all database drivenwatersheds to be implemented in the future with adoption of modifications is suggested.

“…These impacts depend on farmers' perceptions, attitudes, and adaptive capacity to climate change. Previous studies (Banerjee et al, 2015;Ravikumar et al, 2015;Dupdal et al, 2021) reported that climate change adaptation strategies could not be effective without understanding farmers' perceptions, knowledge, and attitude toward climate change. Even the extension professional knowledge regarding impact of climate change in agriculture was reported to be low to moderate (Ghanghas et al, 2015).…”

This study was conducted in the semi-arid region, Agra of Uttar Pradesh, during 2016-19 to assess farmers’ perceptions and attitudes about climate change and farmers’ social vulnerability; and identify the significant factors that influence social vulnerability. Primary data was collected from 120 farmers using a well-structured interview schedule. Results revealed that most respondents recognized the decline in the rainfall quantum and rise in temperatures and the increase in the frequency of hot days and droughts. Almost all respondents believed that soil and water conservation measures were most effective in mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. The social vulnerability index illustrated that more than half of respondents were moderate socially vulnerable in climate-changing scenarios. The multiple regressions results confirmed that land size, total income, perception, knowledge, awareness of climate change phenomena, and adaptive capacity were significant predictor variables for social vulnerability to climate change. There is a need to improve knowledge and perception and change attitudes among the respondents through an educational campaign, mass media exposure, and individual contact with trained extension personnel to effectively cope with the consequences of climate change.

“…While, major impacts of climate change will be on rainfed crops, which is cultivated in nearly 60 per cent of area in India. (Dupdal et al, 2021). In past years it has been predicted that, with the rise in temperature by 2.5 o C to 4.9 o C the yield of rice and wheat will drop by 32 to 40 per cent and 41 to 52 per cent, respectively (Chouksey et al, 2021).…”

Changing climate is a serious environmental issue affecting agricultural production all overthe world. India is also facing the problem of increased mean temperature and irregularityof rainfall, and the Konkan region of Maharashtra is also not escaped from this issue. Thestudy was designed and conducted in the northern part of the Konkan region to understandthe constraints experienced by the farmers while adapting the climate change. The studywas carried in four villages of Palghar district with 245 respondents selected byproportionate random sampling method. Major constraints were expressed by the farmerswhile adapting the changing climate were, lack of credence on current weather forecastingsystem, poor accurate weather forecast information, irregular & low voltage capacity powersupply and seven others.
