Indian agriculture has exhibited remarkable resilience to climate shocks, as evident from the trend increase in total production of foodgrains and horticulture crops, yields, and agriculture sector gross value added (GVA) over the years. As the frequency and intensity of climate shocks are expected to increase in the future, however, policies to safeguard and entrench the resilience of agriculture will progressively assume greater importance. Globally, while the adverse impact of climate shocks is already visible, the rising penetration of climate resistant cropping practices and yield enhancing technologies have moderated the impact considerably. In India also, empirical estimates from an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model presented in this paper show that, in the long-run, when temperature rises by 1 per cent (equivalent to about 0.26 degree Celsius in a year), yield of foodgrains declines by 6.5 per cent, which can be contained by increasing the share of irrigated land in total gross cropped area. A one per cent drop in YIELD lowers foodgrain production by 0.65 per cent, which can be partly offset through price based support enabling the terms of trade (ToT) to move in favour of agriculture. If average rainfall drops by one per cent, agri GVA could decline by 0.27 per cent, but better terms of trade and provision of subsidized inputs (such as fertilizer) could moderate the adverse impact. Panel regression results, that capture the state level heterogeneity, validate the sensitivity of foodgrain production to rainfall, if not temperature yet. Recognising the challenge of limited resource availability to support an accelerated green transition path in agriculture, and taking into account insights from the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), adoption of an incremental approach appears suitable for strengthening further the resilience of Indian agriculture. An integrated framework, however, must aim at making gradual progress on all feasible dimensions of greening agriculture, ranging from sifting the household diet pattern in favour of low emissions food to a more balanced and judicious use of water and chemical fertilisers, soil conservation, pest and insect management, adoption of organic farming practices, crop diversification recognising the emission intensity of crops, wider use of climate resistant and high yielding seeds, adoption of sustainable animal breeding practices, arresting conversion of forest land and encroachment of mangroves, reducing crop residue burning, promoting carbon sequestration, and reducing food wastes at different stages of the food supply chain.
