Drought Mitigation Technologies & Practices The central question for farmers in Anantapuram district is how to manage moisture stress and save crops when rains are not timely and delayed. If this question is answered then all other problems are manageable. For the past few years AF has been looking at this central question in several ways and developing, promoting and popularizing various drought mitigation measures. In this direction the following measures were implemented during the reporting period. During kharif 2015, AF’s preparedness could help in successfully reaching out to over 11,000 farmers. It had a very positive impact on farmers in an otherwise a severe drought year. Further, the Government could be influenced on the importance of contingency cropping at least for easing fodder crises in a drought year.
