Experts Call for Awareness and Financing for Climate-Smart Agriculture
Experts say that to make climate-smart agriculture work, farmers need two main things: money and information.
Farmers often can't afford new technologies like solar pumps, even with help from the government.
They need a good reason to spend money, especially when diesel, which they use a lot, is getting more expensive.
Experts believe that if farmers understand the benefits and have access to financing, they will be more likely to use these new technologies.
This will help the environment and also make farming more profitable for them.
Climate-smart agriculture requires financing and knowledge dissemination to scale.
Farmers need economic incentives to invest in technologies like solar pumps.
Rising diesel costs are a significant factor for farmers.
Government subsidies alone are not enough to drive adoption.
Environmental benefits are a secondary motivation for farmers.
