When the rains came back

Rural livelihoods, which depend heavily on the monsoons, are particularly hard-hit by climate change. As Indian farmers struggle with poor yields, dwindling resources and unpredictable weather, what are the means to sustain their livelihoods?

The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation - with M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation and other partners implemented a project focusing on community level adaptation.

The pilot interventions in two Rajasthani villages show are examples of how science and local knowledge can work together; and the people and the project officers narrate their experiences in determining and engineering local-level adaptative solutions to climate variation and change.
