Background
Over 80% of India’s population lives in districts vulnerable to climate-induced disasters. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, depleting groundwater, retreating glaciers, severe cyclones, and rising sea levels threaten livelihoods, food security, and the economy. Urban areas, particularly those with unplanned development, face increasing risks from extreme heat, flooding, and disease.

Rural communities throughout India face various challenges related to climate change and its variability, coupled with declining farm productivity and livelihood due to depleting and degrading natural resources. Dryland agriculture in India is particularly vulnerable to climate change, given the dependence of its dense population on agriculture, excessive pressure on natural resources, and limited coping capacities. The anticipated impacts of climate change are likely to further strain already scarce land, water resources, and livelihoods.

Soil health and nutrient use efficiency are interlinked, and improvement in both is important for achieving Sustainable Agriculture Goals. Soil degradation is a global problem that affects 3.2 billion people, or 40% of the world's population. Soil degradation impacts food security, biodiversity and climate resilience. It can reduce global food productivity by 12% and cause food prices to increase by up to 30% by 2040. On the other hand, the world needs to increase the food production by 70% to meet the demand of the ever-increasing population, which is expected to become 8 billion by 2050.
