Kargil Farmers Adapt to Climate Change

Farmers in Kargil, Ladakh, are facing challenges due to climate change.

The weather is becoming unpredictable, making it harder to grow and dry apricots.

Apricots are a big part of their economy, but they need to be dried quickly after harvest.

The government introduced solar dryers to help, but they didn't work well.

Many farmers went back to traditional drying methods.

Now, they are using pack houses, which seem to work better.

These pack houses are simple structures that dry the fruit evenly and reliably.

The farmers are finding ways to adapt to the changing climate and keep their apricot farming alive.
