Agriculture has been and continues to be the most important sector in Indian economy. Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues facing the world today. The impact of climate change is a reality and it cuts across all climates sensitive sectors including the Agriculture sector. In this situation this seminar focuses on the climate smart agriculture. CSA brings together practices, policies and institutions that are not necessarily new but are used in the context of climatic changes which is prime requirement in arena of climate change. Farmers possessed low level of knowledge regarding climate change, and they adopted traditional methods to mitigate the impact of climate change. Small land holdings, poor extension services and non availability of stress tolerant verities were the major problems faced by the farmers in adoption to climate change. Extension functionaries were having medium level awareness about impact of climate change on agriculture. They used electronic media, training and conferences and seminars as major sources of information for climate change. They need training on climate smart agriculture aspects. Based on the above facts this presentation focuses on analyzing the opportunities and challenges of climate smart agriculture.

Agriculture in developing countries must undergo a significant transformation in order to meet the related challenges of achieving food security and responding to climate change. Projections based on population growth and food consumption patterns indicate that agricultural production will need to increase by at least 70 percent to meet demands by 2050. Most estimates also indicate that climate change is likely to reduce agricultural productivity, production stability and incomes in some areas that already have high levels of food insecurity. Developing climate-smart agriculture is thus crucial to achieving future food security and climate change goals. This seminar describe an approach to deal with the above issue viz. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and also examines some of the key technical, institutional, policy and financial responses required to achieve this transformation. Building on cases from the field, the seminar try to outlines a range of practices, approaches and tools aimed at increase the resilience and productivity of agricultural product systems, while also reducing and removing emissions. A part of the seminar elaborates institutional and policy options available to promote the transition to climate-smart agriculture at the smallholder level. Finally, the paper considers current gaps and makes innovative suggestion regarding the combined use of different sources, financing mechanism and delivery systems.
Climate change and Agriculture: Impact Aadaptation and MitigationPragyaNaithani
Climate change refers to a statistically significant variation in either the mean state of the climate or in its Variability, persisting for an extended period (typically decades or longer). For the past some decades, the gaseous composition of earth’s atmosphere is undergoing a significant change, largely through increased emissions from energy, industry and agriculture sectors; widespread deforestation as well as fast changes in land use and land management practices. These anthropogenic activities are resulting in an increased emission of radiatively active gases, viz. carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), popularly known as the ‘greenhouse gases’ (GHGs)
These GHGs trap the outgoing infrared radiations from the earth’s surface and thus raise the temperature of the atmosphere. The global mean annual temperature at the end of the 20th century, as a result of GHG accumulation in the atmosphere, has increased by 0.4–0.7 ºC above that recorded at the end of the 19th century. The past 50 years have shown an increasing trend in temperature @ 0.13 °C/decade, while the rise in temperature during the past one and half decades has been much higher. The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change has projected the temperature increase to be between 1.1 °C and 6.4 °C by the end of the 21st Century (IPCC, 2007). The global warming is expected to lead to other regional and global changes in the climate-related parameters such as rainfall, soil moisture, and sea level. Snow cover is also reported to be gradually decreasing.
Therefore, concerted efforts are required for mitigation and adaptation to reduce the vulnerability of agriculture to the adverse impacts of climate change and making it more resilient.
The adaptive capacity of poor farmers is limited because of subsistence agriculture and low level of formal education. Therefore, simple, economically viable and culturally acceptable adaptation strategies have to be developed and implemented. Furthermore, the transfer of knowledge as well as access to social, economic, institutional, and technical resources need to be provided and integrated within the existing resources of farmers.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

12. 1. Residue cover protects the soil from wind
and water erosion.
2. Allows for greater moisture retention in
rainfed systems.
3. These systems build soil organic matter over
period of years, and reach a higher “steady
state” level than tilled systems in the same
environment.
13. 1. The use of fresh or undecomposed manure
in agricultural systems is of great benefit to
the farm.
2. There are variations in nutrient profiles of
animal manures.
3. If using raw manure, cannot apply to fields
for organic certification less than 120 days
before harvest.
14. 1.Use of compost in crop production and grass
farming is beneficial to build soil organic
matter, add nutrients to the soil and retain
water.
2 Nutrient contribution of manure-based
compost is balanced between N-P-K. Have a
compost nutrient assessment done.
3 How much compost to apply and timing is
different on each farm.
4. Ease and economics of use, local availability
and costs as well as variability of quality.
15. 1.Cover crops improve the soil’s physical
properties with carbon and nitrogen cycling.
Some cover crops actually suppress certain
nematodes and soil borne diseases, i.e.
rye, triticale, mustards.
2. Cover crops have superb weed suppressing
effects by competing with weeds for light and
smothering unwanted plants or through
allelopathy.
3. Reduce erosion and attract beneficial bugs.

23. 1.Sustainable agriculture can be viewed as management
of a production system where there is a multitude of
complex interactions occurring between soil, water,
plants, animals, climate and people.
2.The GOAL is to integrate all these components into a
solid production system that benefits all participants.
3. Farms stay environmentally sustainable by mimicking
natural processes and ecosystem function.
4.Diversifying our farms with various enterprises, both
animals and crops, we manage risks a whole lot bet
24. Energy flow is the pathway of sunlight
through a biological system. In relation to the
farm, energy capture is enhanced by
maximizing the leaf area available for
photsynthesis and by cycling the stored
energy through the food chain. We make
money in farming by capturing sunlight – in
essence, we are farming the sun (and the
soil).
25. An effective water cycle includes: no soil
erosion, fast water entry into the soil and the
soil’s ability to store water.
Management decisions on the farm that add to
ground cover and soil organic matter only
enhance the natural water cycle.
Effective water use on the farm results in low surface
runoff, low soil surface evaporation, low drought
incidence, low flood incidence, high transpiration by
plants and high seepage of water to underground
reservoirs (Savory and Butterfield, 1999).
26.
27. 1. In nature, minerals needed for plant and animal
growth are continuously being recycled
through the ecosystem.
2. An effective mineral cycle is one where there is
a movement of nutrients from the soil to crops
and animals and then back to the soil, basically
a circle of nutrient renewal.
3. Ways to enhance this cycle on the farm
include: on-farm feeding of livestock, careful
management of manure and crop residues, and
practices that prevent erosion
28.
29. A farm will be dynamic and healthy if it has a
high diversity of plants and animals (above
ground and below).

that maintain productivity, that are
profitable, and that protect the environment
and the personal health of farmers and their
families," as well as "overcoming the barriers
to adoption of more sustainable agricultural
systems so these systems can serve as a
foundation upon which rural American
communities will be revitalized
36. 1.Economic concentration of agribusiness gives
farmers little power or control over production,
marketing and distribution.
