Over the years, extensive and injudicious use of natural resources especially water has created immense threats because of increasing carbon footprints, environmental sustainability, resource use efficiency, and socio-economic livelihood issues. One of the key strategies is to enhance climate adaptation capacity of the UNITWIN community and improve their resilience through empowering communities with innovative tools, building their capacity to use these tools effectively, policy support and cross cultivation of the ideas. The Chair at MNSAUM, aim to promote low carbon and sustainable agriculture practices; and local and regional capacity building that can play an effective role in devising a road map for sustainable agriculture system in local context. The chair will impart research and education for “sustainable resource use” by improving efficient use and reducing environmental impacts in the selected biosphere reserve as a pilot scale intervention(s). The learnings will be disseminated to a larger community with inspiration for more sustainable agriculture.
