Abstract: Agriculture is the backbone of the frugality and a source of livelihood for a large section of the pastoral population in West Bengal. This pivotal sector, still, is oppressively hovered by the rising prevalence of climate change, which is taking the form of irregular downfall, adding temperatures, recreating cataracts, and deteriorating soil quality. These challenges impel the perpetration of smart husbandry, a strategy where data- driven technology, sustainable agronomic practices, and climate- flexible exploration are combined in order to forestall pitfalls as well as achieve productivity enhancement. This exploration explores the situation at hand, strategic fabrics, and prospects for smart husbandry as a climate adaption and mitigation agent in West Bengal. It highlights the eventuality of arising technologies like perfection husbandry, Internet of effect, Geographic Information Systems (Civilians), remote sensing, and decision support systems grounded on artificial intelligence in reshaping conventional husbandry practices. These technologies promote better resource application, prompt responses to rainfall and pest pitfalls, and enhanced vulnerability of husbandry systems to climate query. The exploration also examines government programs, institutional arrangements, and public-private institutions that have promoted or impeded the dispersion of smart technologies among growers. Major enterprises like the Bangla Krishi Sech Yojana, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, and climate-smart village models are examined to determine their influence on sustainability and agrarian invention. From a critical perspective, the exploration examines the donation of climate- flexible crop kinds, solar- powered irrigation, water operation systems, and low- carbon husbandry to lowering the environmental impact of husbandry.In addition, the exploration presents socio- profitable factors, similar as planter knowledge, digital structure vacuity, and backing obstacles, affecting smart husbandry uptake. Grounded on field studies and case analyses conducted across sections like Burdwan and the Sundarbans, the paper depicts effective models presenting worthwhile assignments about scalable climate-smart interventions. In summary, the results punctuate the revolutionary capability of smart husbandry in West Bengal, especially in buttressing food security, climate adaptability, and sustainable development. The composition suggests integrated policy enterprise, fiscal support systems, and increased planter training to grease a wider shift to smart husbandry throughout the state.
