๐ Conclusion: The Time to Act is NOW
This comprehensive case study by AgriSmart (Mahasangram Private Limited) presents undeniable evidence that climate change is already impacting Pune's agriculture – and the trajectory points to severe challenges by 2050 if we don't act decisively.
Key Findings Summary:
- Temperature has risen by +1.8°C since 2000, accelerating in recent years
- Rainfall variability has increased to ±18%, making farming unpredictable
- Extreme weather events have increased by 45-133%
- Annual economic loss to farmers: ₹2,800 Crores
- By 2050, up to 65% of current crops may face viability challenges
The Path Forward:
However, our ASI models also show that with proactive adaptation, the worst impacts can be mitigated. The combination of technology (ANI, AGI, ASI), government support (MahaVISTAR AI), and grassroots action (AgriSmart) can build a climate-resilient agricultural future for Pune.
