Sharecroppers do not own farmland themselves but take on all the risks associated with cultivating land owned by others. This policy brief is purposed to distill five evidence-based lessons from the project TECSAI-financially supported by BMZ and technically guided by NETZ Bangladesh a 2-year climate action program (2022-24) executed by Development Research Communication and Services Centre (DRCSC) in the semi-arid district of Birbhum, West Bengal, with 1,200 rural landless households, predominantly tribal and scheduled caste communities, across 29 villages. DRCSC strongly urged policymakers to consider these insights in their future policy design endeavors for similar climate action programs.
