16 Sustainable Agriculture SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES Specifics (Agriculture) Selection of appropriate crop based on soil properties and climate. Marketing facilities with good road network. Post harvest processing technologies such as cold chain management Production and use of bio-fertilizers and biopesticides. Organic farming may be encouraged. Cultivation of nutritional vegetables and fruits at household and community level.

17 Strategic Knowledge Suggested activities- Specifics (DSTE, Agriculture, Education) Weather data for last years may be collected to assess visible impact of Climate Change. Work out a mechanism for systematic collection of weather data from all parts of the state at village level.
