\u201cAmid rising political tensions, one strategy can inoculate communities against anti-government ideologies,\u201d reporter Sarah Trent indicated in a recent issue of High Country News.

Constraints facing farm women in adapting to climate change<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The International Journal of Economic Plants included a research article that identified three major constraints facing farm women of northern India in adapting to climate change. Researchers A. Pandey and P. Arya interviewed a random sample of 280 farm women in eight villages of the Bikaner district of Rajasthan.<\/p>\n

Findings revealed three types of major constraints:
\n1. Inadequate knowledge of climate change, adaptation measures and access to weather forecasting technology
\n2. Lack of training programs about this challenge
\n3. Lack of knowledge about government policies\/programs and poor extension services related to climate change<\/p>\n
