Main Body
How it may affect food security in India:
1On Agriculture
Erratic rainfall due to Ocean warming (45% population rainfall dependent)
Threaten current crops food-water intensiveextreme weather events triggered
Increased crop
2On Coastal Fisheries
India 2nd largest producer, 8% global
Ocean warming - fish deaths & reduced capacity of fish farming
Impact due to (increased cyclones) in Arabian Sea due to SRTC temp
3On Seafood - like crabs, prawn
Threaten tourism opportunity & crab & prawns culture in Goa
However, ocean warming may also lead to changing patterns of food security:
1- Focus on inland fisheries extinction
2- Growth of millets & drought resistant crops.
Ways to mitigate the threat:
1Promote coastal conservation & prevent erosion due to sea level rise.
[eg] MISHTI scheme for Mangroves.
2Blue Revolution - to promote Aquaculture & Inland Fishing (Bihar 90% of Fishing) [Inland]
3Focus on Micro-irrigation in Agriculture, Water Use Efficiency - 80-90%
4Less water intensive crops.
5Promote Research on New Varieties (ICAR)
