<h1>Indian small-scale farmers need $75 billion investment to adapt to climate change impacts and sustainable practices</h1> The International Fund for Agricultural Development President stated that Indian small-scale farmers require approximately USD 75 billion in investments to adapt to climate change impacts. Small and marginal farmers represent 86.2% of all farmers but own only 47.3% of farming land. Current challenges include seasonal water scarcity, rising temperatures, and frequent droughts. Despite existing government schemes, farmers struggle to adopt climate-smart practices. The organization emphasizes mobilizing long-term financing, bringing private capital, and promoting sustainable value chains. Agriculture accounts for 20% of GDP and employs 42% of India's workforce, making continued investment crucial for rural development.
