The Maharashtra Onion Farmers Group, consisting of around 2,000 farmer members, has been using social media platforms and in-person gatherings to share localized weather warnings and agricultural strategies to cope with climate change.
The group helps farmers anticipate and prepare for extreme weather events and other impacts of climate change. They also share traditional and new cultivation methods to build climate resilience. The initiative aims to combat the biggest threat to small and marginal farmers’ livelihoods posed by climate change.
