In the scenario of changing climate, increasing population, Post COVID scenario, Geopolitical conflicts, it's the time for all the stake holders especially farmers to meet, discuss, plan and revisit the existing strategies related to the future of agricultural practices and plantation drives. Climate Smart Plantation could be one of the best solution to all the above mentioned and other challenges.
The first step is choosing climate smart crops and planting them in such a way that there is no adverse impact on ecology. It should adhere to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes, building resilience to climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Interesting answer Dr Malhotra. Climate smart plantation is to be seen from the angle of carbon sequestration ability translating into quick biomass production alongside nutrient geothermal cycling ability, beside better WUE .
The best option is agroecology, and agroforestry systems to face climate change and generate resilience in production systems.
Thanks dear friends. I will also appreciate if we can discuss it in the scenario of COVID out break. Numbers of agriculture realated buisinesses and cross border exports/imports been banned over the months in the recent past due to COVID. I think that we should think about the double cropping and others ways to fullfill the need of common people in such sitations! Thanks for giving your insights.
