Climate Challenges and Financial Gaps Threaten India's Agricultural Production
India's agriculture faces significant challenges due to climate factors, including high temperatures and El Niño-related dry conditions. These have led to reduced crop yields, poor germination, and moisture stress across major farming regions. Experts highlight the gap between climate warnings and adaptation finance, noting that developing countries received limited funds for climate resilience. The uneven monsoon and increased input costs further threaten the 2026-27 Kharif crop production, underscoring the need for improved forecasting and greater financial support for adaptation measures.
