Attending #AgroVision Nagpur MS India 15th Agrovision: India's Premier Agri Summit Ranking second in the world in farm output, the agricultural sector is the backbone of Indian Economy contributing majorly to the country's GDP (Gross Domestic Product). As on February 2018, it is estimated that over 58% of rural Indians depend on agriculture for their livelihood and this sector contributes around 17-18% to the country's GDP. The Indian food industry is also poised for huge growth which employs more than 50% of the workforce in India. The contribution is going to increase in world food trade every year due to its immense potential for value addition, particularly within the food processing industry. The industry and agriculture have linkages which need to be reinforced for having an integrated economy with special farmer-industry partnership. Thus it is required to educate and equip farmers with latest technologies and farm practices. The current situation of agriculture is challenging and in Central India, the circumstances are not different; however the chances to overcome are more. Vidarbha region is blessed with abundant forests, fertile black soil, water resources and appropriate weather conditions favourable for agriculture. What more is needed is educating farmers about better/smart farming by adopting modern technology, implementing correct cropping pattern, new avenues in agriculture, importance of allied agri. businesses like dairy, food and fruit processing, goat farming, fisheries, poultry etc. to minimise the dependability on agriculture to make farming financially affordable and profitable. Agrovision was conceived in the year 2007 to create a common platform for the farmers, industry, and government and bring together every important entity in agriculture to create a better future for the farmers. The vision of Agrovision is to create a more knowledgeable, practical and a smart famer. Agrovision is one such genuine initiative, which is providing an integrative framework and a platform to bring all the stakeholders consisting of farmers, Government, NGOs, Scientists, Industry under single umbrella to deliberate and debate at different levels for all around growth of agriculture. Agrovision's basic objective has always been to Educate, Encourage and Empower the farmers through its major activities i.e. Free Workshops for farmers, International Exhibition, Expert Panel Discussions, Conference etc.. Agrovision has completed 13 years of its march and brought about a profound impact on farm economy of Central India. #Agrovision #UniverseExports #agriculture #villages #innovation #farm #EcoFriendlyFarming #sustainableagriculture

Empowering Global Agriculture: Insights from PM Modi at the International Conference of Agricultural Economists Passionate about sustainable agriculture and economic policy, I was truly inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address at the 32nd International Conference of Agricultural Economists in New Delhi. The Prime Minister highlighted the critical role agriculture plays in India's economy, especially in supporting the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, who make up nearly 90% of our farming community. PM Modi emphasized several innovative initiatives that have shaped India's agricultural landscape over the past decade: * Soil Health Cards: Empowering farmers with vital information to maintain soil quality. * Solar Farming: Harnessing renewable energy to power farms. * e-NAM: A digital platform revolutionizing agricultural marketing. * Kisan Credit Cards: Providing easy access to credit for farmers. * PM Fasal Bima Yojana: Ensuring farmers against crop losses. It was also fascinating to learn about India's advancements in climate-resilient agriculture. The introduction of around 1,900 new crop varieties, including high-yielding and water-efficient rice, reflects the government's commitment to sustainable farming practices. Moreover, the PM’s focus on chemical-free farming and I was particularly intrigued by the mention of black rice from Manipur, Assam, and Meghalaya, which is gaining popularity as a superfood for its medicinal value, highlighted alongside the micro-irrigation initiatives. This focus on both tradition and innovation reflects a holistic approach to enhancing agriculture while preserving our environment. India’s goal of achieving 20% ethanol blending not only benefits agriculture but also significantly contributes to environmental sustainability. The conference was a call to action for global agricultural economists to collaborate and innovate, fostering sustainable agri-food systems worldwide. With agriculture employing 42% of India's workforce, the potential impact of these initiatives is immense, not only for India but for global food security. The journey ahead is challenging, but with the right innovations, we can create a resilient and prosperous agricultural sector. #Sustainability #AgriculturalInnovation #ClimateResilience #IndiaAgriculture #FutureOfFarming
