What's Happening?
The National Alliance for Regenerative Vegetable Oil Sector (NARVOS) has been launched in Bhopal, India, to promote regenerative agriculture practices in the edible oil sector. The initiative aims to strengthen farmer incomes, reduce dependence on imports, and improve soil health through practices like low tilling and compost use. Industry leaders emphasize the potential for increased yields and reduced input costs, supporting climate-resilient food systems.
Why It's Important?
Regenerative agriculture offers a sustainable solution to soil degradation and declining oilseed production in India. By adopting regenerative practices, the edible oil sector can enhance productivity, reduce environmental impact, and improve food security. The alliance's efforts to promote climate-resilient systems align with global sustainability goals, impacting agricultural policies and industry standards.
