Unlocking the Potential of Rainfed Agriculture Through Integrated Watershed Management

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: Rainfed systems!! globally \naccount for 58 per cent of the world \nfood production (Rosegrant et al., \n2002) and accounts for about twothirds \nof total cropped area and \ngenerate nearly half of the total value \nof agricultural output In India (Kerr, \n1996). Because of raintall variability, \naccelerating land degradation, lack of \nappropriate technologies, and limited \neconomic investments, the productivity \nof rainted systems has been quite low. \nHence, the relative share and severity \nof poverty is often higher in rainted \nregions (Ryan and Spencer, 2001). \nAddressing the problems of natural \nresource degradation............
