Transformative Climate Action through Upscaling Climate-Resilient Rice and Other Agricultural Technologies Supported by Evidence-Based Knowledge and Policy in India

Project Duration:

October 2024 – October 2028

Project Site:

Assam and Odisha

Funding Agency:

Norwegian Embassy, New Delhi

Brief Description:

The focus of this project will be on upscaling selected sustainable and climate resilient rice and relevant agricultural (CRRA) technologies, addressing barriers and showing the potential for upscaling in practice. Scaling up processes and multiplication are an integral part of a systemic approach to innovation. The selected technology interventions are evidence based (results from RESILIENCE and other ongoing projects in India) and have shown promising results.

The primary objectives of the upscale project are: 

  • To increase sustainable productivity, farm income, and food and nutritional security in the highly climate vulnerable states of Assam and Odisha, India. 
  • This will be achieved through upscaling innovative evidence-based sustainable and climate resilient rice and relevant agricultural (CRRA) technologies
  • That will strengthen smallholders to adapt to climate change thereby enable transformative climate action.
