ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION
Adaptation
Mitigation
Adaptation
Adaptation measures deal with the impacts of climate change and have the objective of reducing the vulnerability of human and natural agro-ecosystems.
MitigationMitigation addresses the causes of the problem, which involves reducing green house gases concentration in the atmosphere.

MITIGATION STRATEGIES
Mitigation
ExposureThree major options to mitigate climate change:
1
2
3
• Avoiding or displacing emissions - Renewable energy resources
• Removing emissions- Afforestation - Oceans (C sequestration)- Soil
• Reducing emissions- Biofuel- Wind energy

Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD)
• PMD should be under Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock
• It’s important to obtain meteorological data easily

Punjab Agricultural Environment Monitoring Network (PAEMN)
• Two three weather stations in each district
• Forecast of frost for wheat
• Forecast of rainfall for rice at maturity
• Frost forecast for potato

Redefining Agro-ecological Zones
Due to climate change we will have to redefine agro-ecological zones

Use of Models for Forecasting
• Models (DSSAT, APSIM, CROPWAT etc.) forecasting is helpful for developing adaptation strategies in the context of changing climate

Conti….
• Sowing methods
• Adjustment of planting times and densities
• Early canopy development
• Choice of suitable cultivars
• Weed management

Change in Cropping Pattern/Cropping Intensity
• Diversified cropping pattern• More cropping intensity
![Page 12: Mitigation and Adaptations Strategies to cope with impact of Climate Change on Food Security](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813e2e550346895da80f40/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Water Shortage
• Coping with water stress due to climate change• Efficient Irrigation scheduling• Use of pressurized irrigation system

Weed Management
• Weeds infestation and attack will increase due to climate change
