Abstract
Arid regions, marked by low rainfall and harsh climatic conditions, present unique challenges for farming. In India, states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and parts of Maharashtra are key examples of these regions. To thrive here, farmers need to diversify their agricultural practices to overcome water scarcity, low soil fertility, and climate challenges. This article explores different strategies that
farmers can adopt to boost their incomes and resilience through various entrepreneurial ventures. From value-added processing to renewable energy and climate-smart practices, it aims to provide practical insights into transforming arid agriculture.
