What
evidence
do we have that
agricultural
mechanization
contributes towards
climate-smart
agriculture? |
¡¡ |
What
are some of the
important challenges
that need to be
addressed to ensure that
agricultural
mechanization can play a
larger role towards
climate-smart
agriculture? |
¡¡ |
How
can these challenges be
overcome and what should
be the
role
of governments, private
sector and farmers? |
¡¡ |
How
can climate-smart
agricultural
mechanization better
respond to the needs and
demands of
marginal and
resource-poor farmers
who make up the bulk of
the farming community in
the Asia-Pacific region? |
