Introduction of climate-resilient and improved crop varieties.
Crop intensification, diversification into vegetables, millets, pulses, and cash crops.
Nutrition/kitchen gardens and sustainable horticulture.
Modern agronomic practices (SRI, crop rotation, mulching, organic inputs).
Through OTELP, OPELIP, and OIIPCRA, IRDMS promoted climate-smart agriculture in tribal and smallholder regions. Farmers adopted diversified cropping systems, kitchen gardens, and sustainable horticulture, which improved productivity, household nutrition, and farm incomes. By combining modern agronomy with indigenous practices, the interventions built food security and resilience in some of Odisha’s most vulnerable communities.
