Abstract:
This paper attempts to combine two different dimensions, viz., nutrition potential from a certified organic farm of a station based work and ‘on farm-trials’ under adaptive research for resilience conducted by active participation of farmers, both of which were evaluated from the climate change perspective. During kharif, rabi and zaid seasons of three consecutive years the mean organic vegetables production (kg) were 414, 4464.85, 960.33 respectively, fruits (202.33, 320.66 and 674.66 respectively) and oyster mushroom (226.66, 460.66, 103 respectively) harvested at the certified Organic Farm, which were found to meet the requirements of vitamins B, C minerals and edible fibre for over 500 families. The ‘on farm-trials’ under adaptive research in Madhya Pradesh depicted desirable productivity figures under variable mean temperatures and total rainfall of the growing season in both the years and the regression analysis for correlating the productivity of rice, viz., 4955 and 5220 kg ha-1 with these climate parameters depicted positive results.
