Climate Change and its extremes are increasingly one of the most serious national security threats, which will have significant impacts on agriculture, natural resources, ecosystem and biodiversity. At the same time, it is likely to trigger food insecurity, human migration, economic and social depression, environmental and political crisis, thereby affecting national development. Although, scientific reports have amply proved that future food production is highly vulnerable to climate change. But, an important source of uncertainty in anticipating the effects of climate change on agriculture is limited understanding of crop responses to extremely weather events. This uncertainty partly reflects the relative lack of observations of crop behaviour in farmers' fields under extreme weather conditions. Crop yield increases have been slowed and may go into decline as the region runs out of natural resources. Therefore, regular assessments to understand the science of earth's changing climate, and its consequences; primarily driven by global warming, which in turn is highly extensive, complicated, and uncertain, is a scientific challenge of enormous importance to society. The summary of the recent IPCC's fifth assessment report (IPCC, 2018) has again a stark warning on how climate change is threatening the South Asia, but report has also shown the way out to combat rampant climate change. India needs to develop a regional strategy for adapting to climate change and its variability in order to ensure food and ecological sustainability. Recognizing the importance of science issues that need to be addressed to deal with climate change, new approaches and policy interventions are desperately needed to enable and encourage smallholder farmers to adopt new technologies and practices under more uncertain and extreme climatic conditions to produce a resilient agricultural production system.

Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K) is a multi-campus university established in 1982 with its headquarters at Shalimar Srinagar and its territorial jurisdiction spreads to temperate Kashmir and cold arid region of Ladakh. The university have been
thranked in the 9 positions among the 67 state agricultural universities in the ICAR ranking of Agriculture Universities- 2020 and is committed to impart education in agriculture and allied sectors. The varsity also undertakes initiatives for the development of human resources, innovative technologies and their dissemination so as to serve the farming community with dedication and zeal. It is a matter of great satisfaction that extremely in coherent and stagnated research infrastructure, educational base and non-existent extension education services have given way to organized institution of SKUAST-K with efforts to develop agricultural economy. The university supports in providing food, nutritional and livelihood security by producing excellent human resource, innovative technologies and their dissemination and has become a leading university in hill and mountain agriculture.
The scientific papers for oral and poster presentation on any of the themes listed above are invited for the conference. Extended abstract typed in MS Word not exceeding 500 words excluding the title, affiliation etc., typed error free, single line spacing, 12 points in Times New Roman font must be submitted to the Organising Secretary 'AGMET - 2021' through Email to latest by August [email protected]

The Kashmir Valley has a moderate climate. Summer is usually mild and fairly dry, but relative humidity is generally high and the nights are cool. Precipitation occurs throughout the year and no month is particularly dry. The hottest month is July (mean minimum temperature 16 °C, mean maximum temperature 32 °C) and the coldest are December–January. September month mostly sunny and the temperature ranges between 27-30 degrees Celsius in the day and falls as low as 11 degrees Celsius in the night. The crowd is less so you can enjoy sightseeing around famous attractions.
Participation is open to all scientist, teachers, students, field officers and research scholars in the field of agriculture science and allied subjects. Delegates are invited to register early to enable us plan and make the best possible arrangements.
