Villages in Himachal Pradesh are adopting new crops and reviving springs to cope with climate change.
In the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh, several villages are turning to climate‑resilient crops and restoring local springs as part of adaptation strategies.
The shift to new varieties helps farmers manage erratic rainfall and higher temperatures.
Simultaneously, community groups have worked to revive springs that have dried up, ensuring a steady water supply for irrigation.
These measures are part of a broader effort to mitigate the impacts of climate change on rural livelihoods.
