![Page 1: South Asia Major Issues/gaps Climate risk agriculture (all the stakeholders are sensitized) Inadequate agro-meteorological infrastructure/services and.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081821/56649e4d5503460f94b42f5a/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
South AsiaMajor Issues/gaps• Climate risk agriculture (all the stakeholders are sensitized)• Inadequate agro-meteorological infrastructure/services and human capacities (for
example in some cases 1 person/country)Best practices/good practices• Proven models from India on forecasting and advisory services both from public
and private sector (based on the case studies presented) and also seasonal forecast experiences from Kenya
• Center for Research and Excellence in Agriculture Meteorology (CREAM), Pune, India
• Participatory approaches through farmer groups (how do we include)• Strategic (long term) and tactical (short term – dynamic) decisions• Participatory scenario planning (top down and bottom up approach with
community mobilization)Actionable points• Replicating experiences from India would be possible as all South Asia countries
share similar ecological region• Capacity building (at all levels and also new professionals from farmer groups)

Big Ticket Idea 1
- Use of crop and climate information services to transform climate risk agriculture to climate smart agriculture
Product• Models to codify climate and crop advisories
Processes• Convergence of various players/multi disciplinaries/multi-
institutional• Public-private partnerships• Participatory videos• ICT mediated communication (Packaging of messages)• Crop value chain approaches (Paddy)• Go beyond agro-advisory (bundling advisories with quality
inputs)• Gender sensitive approaches• Validation mechanism (impacts/economic benefits)

Where do we do? Locations
• Plain areas of Nepal (most productive region) comparison with north eastern parts of India
• Bangladesh – western parts of Bangladesh (comparison with West Bengal)
• Sri Lanka - Northern Sri Lanka (comparison with Southern Tamil Nadu)
• Pakistan – Punjabs of Pakistan and India

Who will do? Actors• Met Agencies• Agricultural Institutions at various levels• ICT players that includes media• NGOs/farmer groups/local bodies• Private Sector players• Policy Makers• Donors/International Agencies
Smallholder farmers and policy makersTarget Audience
Note: The details will be nailed down through a planning workshop

• Improving the observation networks (that includes met stations, automatic weather stations, data management and dissemination etc.)
• Enhance human capacities at various levels (scientists, students, technicians, intermediaries, farmers etc.)
• Use of ICTs to improve delivery mechanisms
Big Ticket Idea 2 Enhance infrastructure and human capacities to improve delivery of agro-climatic services
