National Conference on Climate Resilient Farming Solutions

Agriculture is the backbone of India\'s economy, supporting over half of the population and playing a crucial role in the global food trade. It offers opportunities for innovation, profitability, and sustainability. India\'s diverse agricultural landscape, ranging from small farmers to large agribusinesses, drives socio-economic development but also presents challenges and growth opportunities, particularly with advancements in agricultural technology. Recent technological innovations and precision agriculture have enhanced productivity and sustainability. Agritech solutions address issues such as pest control, irrigation efficiency, and crop monitoring, increasing yields and reducing waste.

In today\'s rapidly growing economy and with a rising population, there is an urgent need for climate-resilient farming practices. As agricultural demands intensify and environmental conditions become increasingly.

unpredictable, adopting sustainable and adaptive farming solutions is essential. Moreover, these practices contribute to the vision of doubling farmers\' incomes, aligning with broader government goals for rural prosperity.

Furthermore, the Indian government\'s biofuel policy highlights the use of maize and sweet sorghum for ethanol production, aiming to increase ethanol blending in petrol. This policy not only supports agricultural incomes by creating new markets for these crops but also contributes to climate-resilient farming solutions. By reducing reliance on imported oil and lowering carbon emissions, the policy advances both food security and fuel security, reinforcing the role of agriculture in sustainable development.
