Move on climate panel for NE India region
Telegraph | Pullock Dutta | Jorhat, July 7:
A joint panel of the states of the Northeast to study the impact of climate change on agriculture in the region is in the offing with Dispur seeking cooperation from the seven northeastern states, including Sikkim.
According to the data prepared by the National Action Plan on Climate Change, a trend of decreasing rainfall in the Northeast has been noticed. The region lost more than 200mm of annual average rainfall in the last 100 years. The minimum temperature on an average has risen at many places from 1 degree Celsius to 1.5 degrees Celsius during the same period.
“Warming trends, coupled with other disturbed weather parameters, will affect the cropping patterns in different areas of the region and necessitate growers to think of adaptive strategies. It may so happen that some crops may become unsuitable for some areas and give way to other crops,” another AAU scientist said.
