Sujala-ICRISAT InitiativeMain Message
Productivity of crops in the nucleus and satellite watersheds is increased by upto345% with best-bet options for ragi (230%), groundnut (240%), sunflower (345%), maize (150%) and soybean (116%) resulting in increased incomes
Bhoochetana-ICRISAT Initiative Main Message
Science-led approach promoted by Government of Karnataka adopted by farmers increased crop yields by 32 to 64 per cent over the normal farmer’s practice
Rain-fed Agriculture development could become growth engine for reducing poverty and achieving food security in Karnataka and India
Planetary Boundaries: Safe Operating Space for Humanity
Nature, 2009
Biodiversity loss, Nitrogen cycle and climate change are various parameters has reached beyond its permissible threshold at planetary scale
Resilient Agriculture Investigators Network (RAIN)4Sustainable Development in Karnataka
Torch Bearers for Resilient Agriculture
Establishment of Resilient Agriculture Investigator Network (RAIN)
Developing a common understanding about resilient agriculture
Developing a common approach, instruments, methodology, data set and terminology for resilient agriculture
Establish the sites of Resilience Learning
Sensitize all the stakeholders to use the resilience and vulnerability lense
Bhoochetana: Increasing Adoption, Area Coverage and Impact: A Challenge to Meet
Increased vulnerability of rainfed agriculture due to climate change
Food security is at risk
Sustainable development is in question

Revolutionising Rain-fed Agriculture thru Inclusivity and Resilience (ReRAInRe) in Karnataka
Specific Objectives The specific objectives are:
To revolutionise the rain-fed agriculture in the state through science-led inclusive development through integrated management of farms for increasing productivity and profits by 50 per cent in five years by enabling farmers to adopt holistic “Seed to Plate” approach;
To enhance resilience of the rain-fed farmers as well as farming systems through suitable adaptation and mitigation interventions for the anticipated impacts of climate variability and change;
To develop effective and sustainable integrated knowledge and inputs delivery systems for the farmers through public private partnerships;
To undertake sustainable intensification and diversification of farming systems through mechanisation for sustainable development and harnessing the market potential for the small farmers for enhancing their incomes;
To build the capacity of different stakeholders such as DoA officials, private entrepreneurs, development workers including non-government organisations (NGOs), farmers and policy makers in the state.
Five Pillars for Sustainable Development Integrated soil, water, nutrient and crop management
options (holistic approach) as an entry point to harness low hanging fruits
Farmers-centric sustainable delivery systems thru public-private partnerships (PPP) for empowerment of farmers
Five Pillars for Sustainable Development (Contd..)
Effective and sustainable seed delivery systems for Improved crops and cultivars for transforming subsistence agriculture into business model to diversify and intensify agriculture
Social mobilisation for mechanisation thru collective action and minimum tillage
Inclusive Market Oriented Development (IMOD) thru ensuring credit and institutional support to build resilience and enhance profits
