Nonetheless, multiple factors, such as climate change, threaten these conventional agricultural systems. This chapter examines the climate science perspectives on traditional farming systems in the Indian Himalayas. It overviews the regions agricultural systems, including cultivated cereals and domesticated animals. The work also examines the effects of climate change on traditional farming systems, including temperature fluctuations. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and precipitation patterns are changing. This passage highlights the significance of traditional knowledge in coping with climate change. It emphasizes the importance of utilizing integrated approaches that merge traditional knowledge with climate science to ensure the sustainability and resilience of conventional agricultural systems in the Indian Himalayas.
