| Summary, etc. biblio.abstract | In the context of mitigating climate change with investment in advanced production technology, the study<br/>was conducted in 2022–23 to ascertain the impacts of<br/>open versus protected cultivation of capsicum in the<br/>northwestern Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh.<br/>Capsicum is a high-value commercial crop, and it has a<br/>lot of scope to augment farm income. Although the initial cost for polyhouses is higher, protected cultivation<br/>delivers far better technical and economic results. The<br/>yields and net income increased by 200% and 258%<br/>respectively, compared to open field conditions. Output–input ratios (3.30 and 2.55) for protected and open<br/>are also highly prospective. A higher value of breakeven point and a larger margin of safety in protected<br/>cultivation implies enhanced feasibility of additional<br/>financial involvement and resilience against production risks (yield and profitability), which could help<br/>mitigate the climatic risks. Since the return part of the<br/>technology is ascertained, the policymakers, researchers<br/>and practitioners can leverage these insights to promote these sustainable agricultural strategies among<br/>the resource-poor cultivators amidst climate uncertainties. Technical and financial support may encourage the adoption of protected cultivation, which can<br/>enhance food security and farmers’ income and foster<br/>agricultural sustainability in the regions. Future research will explore the scope of diversification of crops<br/>to validate the scaling-up of the benefits of protected<br/>cultivation at macro level. |
