Abstract
Agriculture is the primary source of income for almost two-thirds of India’s population and third largest contributor to the Indian economy. However, it is frequently threatened by natural and anthropogenic disasters of which majority of the disasters are hydro-climatic disasters. With India aiming to achieve Doubling Farmers’ income by 2022 and ease by living by 2024, it is important to identify the hazards, risks and vulnerabilities of various elements of the agriculture sector from disaster and climate change perspective. Furthermore, the agenda 1 of India’s PM’s Agenda 10 on Disaster Risk Management also envisages every ministry/department to prepare its own disaster management plan utilizing the legal mandate under Disaster Management Act 2005. Accordingly, National Agriculture Disaster Management Plan (NADMP) for the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (MoAFW) was prepared. This chapter highlights about hydro-climatic disasters that are affecting the agriculture and the farming community. It also talks about integrating Climate Change Adaption-Disaster Risk Reduction into sectoral planning in the context of NADMP of the MoAFW, Government of India.
