A day-long seminar on climate resilience and energy efficiency in agriculture held here on Saturday pointed out that the paddy farmers of Palakkad, the granary of Kerala, are the biggest victims of climate change faced by the State.
The seminar organised jointly by the Energy Management Centre (EMC) of the State government and the Department of Agriculture Development and Farmer’s Welfare underscored the necessity of chalking out and implementing comprehensive survival projects.
Part of a series of 14 seminars being conducted in all districts across the State, the event was organised to tackle the impact of climate crisis on the State’s agriculture sector. It was held in association with ASAR, a climate research and communications organisation, and EQUINOCT, a joint venture between the alumni of IIT Bombay and NIT Calicut.
