Environmental scientist Dr. Madhav Gadgil has warned that such weather changes are going to detrimental to farming and farmlands. Apart from the immediate damage due to hail storms, the quality of farmlands and its productivity is also going to suffer.
Organic farming is the only alternative with new methods of irrigation and changing crop patterns.
He blamed over population and resulting deforestation etc. for change in weather conditions which should make us relook at our agricultural practices, he said.
