Reasons of Selection

• District Gujrat has both irrigated and rainfed
  cultivated areas thus impact of GEC on food and
  water can be assessed on both areas.
• Being less productive, as compared to other
  districts of Punjab, food security in Gujrat
  would be more vulnerable to GEC.
• Variety of cropping systems like sugarcane-wheat,
  rice-wheat and mixed cropping due to irrigated
  and rainfed agriculture.
• Topography in Gujrat varies from plain to
  sub-mountainous range.
