On-Farm Adaptive Research: Approaches and Methodologies in Temperate Areas of India
نویسنده
چکیده
Because of climatic constraints, agriculture in temperate areas of India is mostly limited to a single grain crop. During winters vegetable or oilseed crops may be cultivated at the lower altitudes but the higher altitudes remain barren due to snow cover. Horticulture, another important pursuit of farmers is again limited to summers. In order to supplement their income, the farmers in these areas have taken to livestock rearing for a long time now. Right from the lower hills of the Himalaya upto cool semi arid deserts of Ladakh, this is the common occupation of farmers.
