Panel discussion on Maximizing Mitigation: Lowering climate-impact of agri-food systems was moderated by Krishnan G S The speakers in this panel were Ajai Rana, Kunal Prasad, and Shiva Mudgil Agriculture contributes to 14% of global carbon emissions. That’s why it is essential to find mitigation options for agriculture while maintaining the food security. This challenge has a third dimension in India because small-holding farmers can't afford to take a yield cut. Various organizations have created methods to mitigate the effects of agriculture on climate. For instance, Savanah seeds is promoting DSR cultivation in Agriculture, IFC is working towards adopting sustainable dairy practices and Bambrew is innovating to replace plastics in inputs / output packaging with bamboo based bio-plastics. CEEW is working towards multi-level interventions oriented towards change in behaviours of different stakeholders including, the farmers by altering farming practices, consumers changing consumptions habits, processors by decentralizing processing and supply chain by replacing plastics and fuel used. The panel discussion highlighted such innovations that mitigate the incumbent negative climate impacts of agri-food systems.

🍅 We’re excited to announce that our new working paper, 'Tomato Trail: Tracking Food Loss and Food Waste in Madhya Pradesh' was recently launched at #ConnectKaro2024! This working paper presents insights from a comprehensive study that assessed food loss and food waste across the tomato supply chain, and sheds light on critical loss points, key causes and drivers, role of gender and social inclusion, and potential solutions. It also looked at the role of energy and energy access in reducing food loss and food waste. The launch event also featured an insightful panel discussion moderated by Swati Agarwal from Oak Foundation who guided the conversation to shed light on the issue of food loss in India, drawing valuable insights from the panellists. Some key highlights from the session include:   ➡ Dr. Devinder Dhingra from ICAR- Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) emphasized the huge economic loss of 18.5 billion USD from post-harvest losses and the need for simple technological solutions and capacity building at the farm-level.  ➡Dr. Rajashree Joshi from BAIF Development Research Foundation stressed on how food loss hamper farmers' income and livelihood, especially of small and marginal farmers. It is critical that technological solutions at the farm-level are suitable and accessible to small and marginal farmers.  ➡Mr. Ashwin Pawade briefly discussed how S4S Technologies is solving the problem of food loss and having an appropriate technology is a must for scaling. Continuous feedback from their ground-level team is critical to improve and scale.  ➡Subrat Panda, PhD from AGNEXT summarized three ways to bring self-sufficient and sustainable technology to people at scale – (1) enabling government policy; (2) right technology providers; and (3) awareness among people.
