Rainfed

There is evidence at scale to enable sustainable, prosperous and just rainfed agriculture systems in India.

India does not even produce half of its edible oil requirements, mainly due to rainfed conditions, high seed cost, smallholding with limited resources, low seed replacement rate, and low productivity.

It would throw weather further into disarray, particularly in places in the global south that depend on rainfed agriculture.

East of the Blue Nile, large areas are used for mechanized rainfed crops.
