Learnings from Kisan Swaraj Sammelan for Climate Resilient Agriculture in Marathwada
Marathwada is a dry region where rainfall is both low and unreliable. In a good year, it may get around 500 to 800 mm of rain, but even that doesn’t come evenly. There are long dry spells in between, and sometimes heavy rains come all at once and damage crops instead of helping them. Because the region sits in the rain shadow of the Western Ghats, it misses out on steady monsoon rains.
