Published By: MSE on eSS | Published Date: November, 09 , 2010

Agriculture is a climate sensitive sector and provides livelihood for more than 60 percent of Indian population. There have been a large number of studies over the past decade that tried to assess the impacts due to the climate variability and climate change.
