Meghalaya Farmers Adapt to Climate Change with Watermelon Farming

Meghalaya Farmers Adapt to Climate Change with Watermelon Farming

Farmers in a village in Meghalaya are starting to grow watermelons because it's easier than their old crops and because the weather is changing.

Watermelons grow well in the area and are naturally sweet.

They plant the watermelons in the spring and harvest them in the summer.

The farmers want to sell their watermelons for a good price.

They want to sell them directly to the people who will buy them, so they don't have to share their money with middlemen.

The local government is helping the farmers by looking at ways to sell their watermelons for a better price.
