In the context of climate change-triggered challenges, resilience must be built at the local level, Kollam district panchayat president P.K. Gopan has said.
He was inaugurating a one-day workshop on ‘Climate Resilience and Energy Efficiency in Agriculture’, jointly organised by the Energy Management Centre (EMC), Department of Agriculture Development & Farmers’ Welfare, ASAR, and EQUINOCT recently.
At the event, which is part of a series of 14 workshops being held in all Kerala districts, experts said the lack of rainfall in the district was a cause for concern.
District Principal Agriculture Officer A.J. Sunil presided over the function while energy technologist Thomson Sebastian, agro-ecology expert Usha Soolapani, EQUINOCT CEO, and hydroclimatologist C.G. Madhusudan, and officials from various departments were present.
