agriculture in the face of climate change, natural resource degradation, and increasing food
demand. | Environmental sustainability is fundamental to ensuring the long-term viability of Indian
agriculture in the face of climate change, natural resource degradation, and increasing food

security, sustainable productivity, animal and soil health, food security, etc. The article highlights
the role of various NRM approaches in relation to both environmental sustainability and crop
productivity. These approaches not only strengthen environmental sustainability but also improve
farm productivity, profitability, and resilience to climatic stresses. | 0 | factual | 1.0 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IndFarm/article/download/181440/66991/538955 | Environmental sustainability is fundamental to ensuring the long-term viability of Indian

| How has Indian agriculture improved rural livelihoods? | NDIAN agriculture has played a pivotal role in
enhancing crop productivity, profitability, food,
nutritional security, and rural livelihoods through the
adoption of improved agricultural technologies and
management practices. | NDIAN agriculture has played a pivotal role in
enhancing crop productivity, profitability, food,

driven production systems adopted during the Green
Revolution era have resulted in several environmental
concerns.
Excessive
tillage,
monocropping,
residue burning, overexploitation of groundwater,
deforestation, and indiscriminate use of agrochemicals
have contributed to the soil degradation, decline in soil
organic carbon, depletion of groundwater resources,

environmental pollution, and increased greenhouse
gas emissions. These challenges threaten the long-term

| What is the projected rise in global temperatures by the end of the century? | According to the Intergovernmental Panel

of extreme weather events have further heightened

exacerbating agricultural and environmental challenges.
Studies indicate that a 1°C increase in temperature may
raise crop water requirements by approximately 2% and
overall water demand by nearly 10%. Climate change
is also projected to reduce crop productivity in India
