Abstract
Drought proneness is a key constraint to raising and stabilizing productivity in rainfed agriculture and hence managing drought is critical to the welfare of farmers practicing rainfed agriculture. Preparedness, management and relief are three important components of drought management policy. Efforts to address drought impacts on rainfed farming include both technological such as improved water management practices, developing drought-resistant crop varieties, and nontechnological measures such as insurance, safety net mechanisms.
