CGIAR Climate's insight:

Surrounded by lush green farms in Karnal, Haryana, it is hard to imagine that farmers here could be worried about climate change.

Once known as the grain basket of India, farmers here are now worried about a lack of fertility in the soil, and decreasing groundwater levels.

Experts have warned that the impact of climate change means that in the coming years, the yield here will go down significantly. Rice farmers in the area are the first ones to be affected.

Taraori is one of dozens of villages in this state to start adapting the way they do things as a result.

The village is part of an initiative led by the global consultancy, Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) in India.
