Agriculture was the second most-affected sector after fisheries in the 2004 tsunami. However, it did not get the attention it deserved. After the tsunami, just when the farmers were trying to get back on their feet, a very wet monsoon caused extensive flooding. Floods and droughts alternate and cause untold misery to the farming sector. The tsunami has heightened our need for being prepared against natural disasters. In this issue of the newsletter, the focus is on agriculture ? the useful reads section contains a couple of recent publications on disaster preparedness in this sector. The other features ? rehab news snippets and brief reports of important meetings are also carried in this newsletter, writes Ahana Lakshmi, TRInet 310706.
