Samal, and M. Malabayabas Foreword iii vii Foreword Widespread and persistent poverty in Asia is a longstanding problem, particularly in rainfed ecosystems. Rice is dominant in these areas because it is the only crop that can be grown in the wet season. As a result, it is the principal source of the rural popula- tion’s food, employment, and income. Rice yields in these rainfed ecosystems—home to 100 million farm households that plant a total of 60 million hectares—remain low (1.5–2.5 tons/ha) and unstable— unstable because of two perennial wraths of nature, drought and fl ooding, which with looming climate change will only become worse. Compounding this problem are poor soils that pervade many rice-growing environments. The incidence of poverty in these rainfed areas is high. Many of these poor people belong to minority ethnic groups, lower castes, and tribes that are economically and socially marginalized. These people are truly the poorest of the poor. And they will stay that way unless the farm families among them can obtain higher incomes through higher and more stable rice yields in the rainfed environments where rice productivity is constrained by diffi cult growing conditions. Raising the productivity and stability of rice in this region is a key to reducing poverty. Higher rice productivity will directly increase the quantity of food available to poor households. This will also raise the income of poor landless households as family members are employed as hired labor for rice production. Increased production will benefi t the poor households that buy rice by keeping its price low. In addition, higher rice productivity will promote diversifi cation into income-generating activities as family food needs can be met from using less land and labor. The cumulative effect of these factors can provide a strong foundation for reducing poverty. With this vision, IRRI is investing substantially in developing rice varieties and production practices that are suited to rainfed environments where rice production suffers from drought, submergence, and salinity. Support from many donors has led to the development of several improved rice varieties that are tolerant of submergence, drought, and salinity. These varieties are now being widely distributed in rainfed rice areas in Asia and Africa under the project “Stress-Tolerant Rice for Africa and South Asia (STRASA)” with major support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It is important to understand the social and economic context of rice production in these areas for effi cient targeting of such varieties and for assessing their impacts. The various chapters in this book are based on household-level benchmark data on farmers’ livelihood strategies, technology adoption patterns, constraints to adoption, and the impact of drought, submergence, and salinity in rainfed rice-growing areas of Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. I am confi dent that the results, based on a detailed analysis of farm-level data from these three countries, provide important insights for underpinning technology development and dissemination in stress-prone rainfed areas.

We thank the staff of the Social Sciences Division—Ludy Velasco, Orlee Velarde, Lydia Damian, and Gina Zarsadias—who were directly involved in providing sup- port at various stages of the research study. Dr. Andy Nelson and the staff of IRRI’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Laboratory, particularly Cornelia Garcia, provided the maps. Other SSD staff who provided logistical and other support were Dr. Thelma Paris, Josie Narciso, and Mirla Domingo. We also wish to thank the staff of IRRI’s Communication and Publications Services, who helped with the graphic design and gave editorial assistance: Emmanuel Panisales, Juan Lazaro, and Grace Cañas. We are also grateful to the STRASA management team, initially led by Dr. David Mackill and subsequently by Dr. Abdelbagi Ismail. We also acknowledge the help provided by Dr. Umesh Singh, the South Asia coordinator for STRASA. Finally, we are thankful to the 1,900 farmers from Bangladesh, India, and Nepal who provided their time and valuable information on which this work is based. Editors vi D. Gauchan and S.

It is a changing phenomenon. Natural processes and human activities have helped change the climate. Temperature is a vital element of climate, which fluctuates in the course of time and leads to change other elements of the whole climate. An attempt has been made to analyze the pattern of temperature and rainfall of Pokhara with the help of the two decades’ temperature and rainfall conditions obtained from the station of Pokhara airport. The increasing trend of temperature and the decreasing trend of rainfall might be the symbol of climatic modification. This trend refers to some changes in the climatic condition that may affect water resources, vegetation, forests and agriculture. KEYWORDS: Adaptation, climate, climatic modification, desertification, environmental problem, fluctuation, greenhouse gases INTRODUCTION Climate is an aggregate of atmospheric conditions including, humidity, air pressure, wind, precipitation and other meteorological elements in a given area over a long period of time (Critchfield, 1990). It is not ever static but a changeable phenomenon. Such type of change occurs in quality and quantity of the components of climate like temperature, air pressure, humidity, rainfall, etc. Natural and man-induced factors are responsible for the modification of climate. It is a global issue faced by every living thing of the world.
