Digital Farm School Episode 6 (11 September, in Telugu) took the season from the field to the globe. It covered how to manage the sucking pests on cotton, chilli and vegetables the non-pesticidal way. What farmers are actually seeing on the ground, and what three new UN reports — UNEP on climate, FAO on soil, and FAO–WMO on extreme heat — mean for a farmer’s soil, water and season. One finding sits close to home: FAO names Andhra Pradesh among the states worst hit by soil erosion.
The through-line was simple. Resilience isn’t a single product or scheme — it’s whole-farm management. Living soil kept covered, careful water use, crop diversity, pest control built on natural enemies, and low-cost local inputs.
On this page you’ll find the episode highlights, the full bilingual (English/Telugu) report, and the three international reports released in the past couple of weeks.
