Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable Agriculture

The Green Revolution of the 1960s transformed Indian agriculture into an industrial system, increasing productivity, boosting farmers’ incomes, and providing food security due to the adoption of modern methods and technology. However, these achievements lacked a sustainable approach: it has since become apparent that the dramatic increase in the use of water and inputs has been detrimental to ecology and water table, and yields have ultimately plateaued. The current cropping intensity of rice & wheat is having a detrimental impact on soil health and, being highly water intensive, they are one direct cause of the decreasing water table.



Interventions


To mitigate the climatic risks and to enhance the farmers’ income by adopting climate-smart agriculture practices in different crops. In order to bring more awareness on sustainable agriculture for better implementation of the SMART farmer approach, the focus will be on providing extensive technical know-how dissemination through training modules and IEC activity by adopting the climate smart village (CSV) approach by prioritizing the crop practices.

CSV focuses mainly on the “Transformation of Villages to handle Climate risk by Adoption (Productivity), building Resilience and Mitigating to ensure increasing in production in normal year and normal production in bad year”.


The main pillars focused by MVS are


This initiative focuses on the strengths on current capacities and prioritizes the attainable outcomes for immediate improvement.
