| Innovation Title | Multi-model systems analysis to identify Low Emissions Development Pathways – exploring synergies and trade-offs in Mahbubnagar District, Telangana, India |
| Innovation description | Triple-win solutions with positive contributions to productivity, adaptation and mitigation are the key to achieve sustainable agricultural systems. Quantifying synergies and trade-offs among these we employed simulation modelling- crop, livestock and whole-farm models, and Cool Farm Tool to estimate net GHG emissions. Multi-model systems analysis using participatory design and tools could be a decision support for policymakers guiding investments towards synergistic climate smart agriculture strategies. |
