In Nanded, Maharashtra, farmers have transformed their agricultural practices by switching to a modern seed dibbler machine, moving away from traditional, labour-intensive methods. Earlier, sowing seeds by hand was time-consuming. It led to uneven seed distribution, low crop density, and higher costs. Recognizing this, Reliance Foundation introduced seed dibbler machines. This mobile machine made planting easier with precise seed placement and spacing, reducing seed wastage. It led to higher crop yields, lower costs and improved economic stability for the farmers. The success of the seed dibbler machine brought change. Farmers share the tools with neighbouring farms. Reliance Foundation applauds farmers of Nanded for embracing innovation, demonstrating how technology increases productivity. It also creates collaboration for common goals. #RelianceFoundation #RuralTransformation #TransformationalTuesdays #RelianceFoundationTransformingLives #WeCare #SustainableAgriculture #CommunityImpact #FarmingInnovation #TechInAgriculture #SeedDibbler #AgriTech #FarmersOfIndia

In India, I met those people who are doing agriculture in our land since years. I came to know that it is very hard for them to make the routine agriculture profitable due to excessive costs associated with it. I have decided to transform their lives more comfortable and economically balanced by transforming the land into an integrated agri farm between 2024 - 25. Isn't it exciting? #agrifarm #ncagrihub www.ncagrihub.com Uday Chatterjee #mystory

The Government of India's top priority is to double farmers' income by 2022. To achieve this ambitious goal, ICAR (ICAR- Indian Council of Agricultural Research) has redoubled its efforts in engaging farmers in research, fostering the creation and dissemination of location-specific, cost-effective, and climate-resilient agricultural technologies. These innovations aim to boost agricultural production, productivity, and profitability, ultimately leading to a significant increase in farmers' income.   As a crucial step towards this mission, ICAR has established State Level Coordination Committees (SLCCs) in every state, each led by a Senior Vice Chancellor from an Agricultural University. These committees play a pivotal role in coordinating and advancing the cause of Indian agriculture, ensuring that our farmers reap the rewards of their hard work. Together, we're working towards a brighter and more prosperous future for our farming community.

How did India become a land where agriculture was the most preferred profession 200 years ago to the profession where 10,881 Indian farmers died by suicide in 2021? With the onset of industrialization, Indian farmers were incentivized to leave their farming practices of having multiple sources of income from the same farm to produce crops at scale. Earlier an Indian farm used to have multiple sources of income from 1. Dairy 2. Vegetables 3. Fruits 4. Poultry 5. Grains Shashi Kumar, Founder of Akshayakalpa at the age of six, received advice from his father, a farmer, to not pursue farming. He followed the advice and spent 15 years working for IT services companies like WIPRO in the US. However, he eventually returned to India with a unique mission: transforming farming from a single source of income to six diverse sources. Traditionally, agriculture involves growing a single crop at scale throughout the year, exposing farmers to numerous variables such as rain, soil conditions, weather, water availability, and seed quality. To reduce dependence on crop cultivation Shashi Kumar opened multiple sources of income for farmers. Akshayakalpa chose one farm in each village to work with and has now scaled beyond 150 farms. The average farmer who works with Akshayakalpa Organic earns Rs 1,00,000 ($1,200) per month Watch our recent Ep with Shashi Kumar where we go deep into Indian farming and its viability as a business! https://lnkd.in/gvqdqaMP #TheNeonShow #WithTheBrightestMindsOfIndia

We at Sustainability Karma are excited to partner GreyMatters Communications & Consulting as Podcast Partner for Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards 2024, which promises to spotlight attention on the importance of sustainable agriculture amidst increasing extreme events of heatwaves, as well as flooding. These extreme weather conditions threaten food security, disrupt rural livelihoods, and degrade natural resources. There is an urgent need to make efforts to promote sustainable practices, such as water-efficient irrigation, crop diversification, and soil conservation to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change. By adopting sustainable agriculture, India can ensure a stable food supply, protect biodiversity, and support the livelihoods of millions of farmers, thereby fostering long-term environmental and economic sustainability in the face of climate challenges. Sustainable Agriculture Summit & Awards 2024 is sure going to be a step in that direction.
