Adaptive management of crop diversity for resilient agriculture and improved livelihoods
Outcome 1
Farmers (at least 25,000) across four agro-ecoregions covering 120,000 ha in India maintain and use an increased availability of diversity of 14 crops which enhances adaptation, resilience and improves income generation opportunities
Output 1.1
Extent and distribution of genetic diversity of 20 crops in 4 agro-ecoregions determined, together with documentation of factors that shape farmer decisions on diversity maintenance, including challenges presented by climate change
Output 1.2
New and traditional crop genetic diversity meeting farmers’ needs and able to enhance ecosystem function, resilience and adaptation to climate change identified and made available
Output 1.3
Farmer identification, improvement and use of adaptive crop diversity through field experimental networks
Output 1.4
Improved farmers’ access to genetic materials in all project sites through establishment of community biodiversity registers (CBRs), community seed banks (CSBs), and diversity fairs
Output 1.5
Production and non-market benefits/incentives from management and sustainable use of crop genetic diversity of 20 crops in four agro-ecoregions by farming communities identified and relevant intervention strategies for capturing and enhancing such benefits developed
Output 1.6
Local, regional and national markets identified and market chains developed for 20 crops to provide improved benefits to farmers and communities in all project sites for sustainably produced agrobiodiversity products
