Abstract
Adaptive agricultural practices are essential for maintaining the agricultural production under changing climatic conditions. While most of the farmers have already developed many field-level innovations, its validation and scaling-ups are essential for large-scale exploitation. Current chapter describes various policy measures for the wide-scale adoption of adaptive agricultural practices.
