Description

Climate change mitigation strategies for food security in northeast India . India, a major agriculture exporter, is at risk of climate-induced food insecurity, a fast-growing global threat. This project aims to identify strategies for climate change resilience in the northeast Nagaland region through a study of past and present agriculture, earlier climate adaptations, vanishing traditional knowledge and dietary health. Working with local communities, it is expected to deliver new data to mitigate climate-related disasters, which jeopardize regional stability. Anticipated outcomes include policy recommendations and test projects to improve farming practices and address climate change impacts. As well as India, the project should deliver significant benefits for Australia, a major trade and diplomatic partner. . Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4301 - Archaeology. Lead: Prof Alison Betts
