Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is an approach to developing the technical, policy and investment conditions to achieve sustainable agricultural development for food security under climate change. multiple cropping systems using crop rotations or intercropping, growing of nitrate catch crops, growing of deep rooting crops following harvest of short duration and shallow rooting crops like vegetables,. winter wheat with deep rooting nature, high n demand and high n harvest index, crop livestock integration system, climate hardy crops such as pigeon pea, chickpea,inetnsive integrated farming systems, relay mixed cropping and lots of more systems have been time tested to be climate smart practices. Adoption of such cropping system strategy could substantially reduce offset the ill effects of climate vagaries.
Pulse crops are also popular for their suitability in different cropping systems, owing to their short–life cycle. Development of large number of high yielding cultivars of crops with varying maturity duration and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, have made it possible to include them in irrigated crop sequence as well. Legume–based cropping systems can transform the rural livelihoods by overcoming the production constraints largely experienced over the decades due to cereal–based production systems and bring farmers I the league of defending boldily any vagaries of the nature.. Several conferences deliberated on such issues and number of lead papers were submitted in some of the conferences such as PRAGATI,ICFA,DISHA,ARISE,RAINFED etc. conducted during 2015 to 2018. The idea to bring out the entire edited chapters in the form a book was long felt and stressed upon by the eminent speakers and contributors.
