The CSA manual provides good information regarding the adaptation of CSA Techniques said Dr. V.K. Ravichandran, a World Bank Consultant in the workshop on obtaining comments on the CSA manual of  CSIAP for improvement held on 04th this month at the National Training Center of the Department of Agrarian Development, Pothuhara, Kurunagala.

Expressing his idea on the Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) Dr. Ravichandran further added “The adaptation of climate smart agriculture is essentially required in the present-day scenario of climate change in agriculture. CSIAP (Climate Smart irrigated Agriculture Project), a world bank funded project in Sri Lanka is started implementing the CSA techniques in agriculture. In this context, a CSA manual has been prepared by the project for the use of implementing officials in six provinces in Sri Lanka.”
“The CSA manual provides good information regarding the adaptation of CSA Techniques which resolve around ( i). increasing the resources to use efficiently (ii). adaptation techniques to withstand the extremes of climate change events and findings (iii). climate change mitigation effects in the agriculture sector to reduce greenhouse gas emission to enable to bring out the climate resilient techniques”
