| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Farm household surveys were conducted in two villages in Odisha, India. Both villages are located near the coast of the Bay of Bengal, where ethnic minorities make a living under fragile natural conditions that are susceptible to cyclones, droughts, and floods. In response to abnormal weather events and climate change, farmers are planting multiple varieties of rice in multiple paddy fields. Rice of various characteristics (high yield, drought resistance, flood resistance, disease and insect resistance, floating rice, short stems, etc.) is cultivated, including both native / traditional and modern varieties, creating mosaic patterns in the landscape of the rice fields. It was found that more than 35 varieties of rice were planted in rotation among the 98 surveyed farmers in the two villages. We tabulated and analyzed how farmers are selecting varieties and planting crops under what conditions.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の成果の学術的意義は、「気候変動対応スマート農業」が必ずしも最新の技術・科学的知見の導入・適用にとどまらないことを示すことである。20世紀の「緑の革命」が推進した多投入・多収量型農業に代わる21世紀の環境保全型農業への転換が急がれるところ、各地域の自然条件・社会条件を踏まえた「伝統知」「在来知」を取り入れた農業システムの構築が求められている。
農学分野において科学知と在来知を融合する超学際的アプローチの重要性・必要性を示す。社会的意義として、気候変動対応が求められる多くの自然・社会両条件とも不利地域における農業振興プロジェクトのあり方・進め方に新たな視座・評価軸を提示した。
