How Climate-Smart Villages in Bangladesh, India and Nepal Are Preparing Farmers for the Future | Global Voices
As part of the effort to help farmers adapt to changing climates, text and voice messages were sent to 1,400 farmers in 60 Indian villages with important farming information.

What is climate-smart agriculture? It's the idea of helping farmers adapt to changing climates while weaning them off techniques and technologies that produce greenhouse gases.
