Digital Harvest: Climate Resilience for Small Farmers – A Case Study of Mahuadanr Block Jharkhand

Author(s) Rozy Sushmita Tirkey

Abstract Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture, particularly in ecologically fragile regions such as Mahuadanr in Jharkhand, India. Unpredictable weather patterns, declining soil fertility, and increasing water scarcity are jeopardizing both food security and the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. This study explores the integration of smart agriculture with digital technologies as a viable strategy to enhance climate resilience and promote sustainable agricultural practices in Jharkhand. By leveraging digital and artificial intelligence (AI) tools—including climate prediction systems, precision irrigation techniques, and sensor-based monitoring—the research assesses their applicability within the region’s distinct agro-climatic conditions. Drawing on field observations, stakeholder interviews, and secondary data sources, the study evaluates how digital technologies can support adaptive decision-making, improve yield forecasting, and optimize resource management. Furthermore, it examines critical socio-economic barriers such as limited technological access, the digital divide, and the necessity for inclusive policy frameworks to ensure equitable benefits for marginalized farming communities. The findings position Mahuadanr as a model for the localized implementation of digitally enabled, climate-smart agricultural strategies with broader implications for sustainable rural development in the context of climate change.
