Climate change has serious implications for the nation’s economy in general and its food and nutritional security in particular. Rural India has always been largely dependent on its natural resources and farming for its livelihood. Bandhan Climate Action Programme (BCAP) seeks to create an economically viable as well as sustainable farming eco-system system that would ensure sustainable livelihood while reducing climate risk and less use of chemical inputs in agriculture. Bandhan Climate Action Programme (BCAP) is an initiative of Bandhan-Konnagar to putting in an effort at building Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and promoting mangrove plantation. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) aims to increase sustainable agricultural production by adapting to and building resilience to climate change. Besides, Bandhan Climate Action Programme (BCAP) promotes mangrove ecology which helps in reducing impact of cyclones, reducing erosion of land due to tidal waves and in controlling water quality.
