"System for weather/climate data collection, forecasting and early warning system for climatic extremities should be developed while extreme climate based insect pest and disease forecasting system should be devised by the Department of Agriculture. Ministry of Agriculture Development should design national level activities to support the management and distribution of resources, extension services and information dissemination to the local level and training."
