National Kharif Conference Develops Roadmap for Sustainable Agriculture in India
The National Kharif Conference, held on May 28-29 at the PUSA campus in New Delhi, brought together Agriculture Ministers from 22 Indian states to discuss sustainable agricultural practices. Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan emphasized the importance of shared responsibility in agricultural governance. The conference focused on key issues such as Kharif preparedness, self-reliance in pulses and oilseeds, balanced fertilizer use, and natural farming. A significant outcome was the commitment by state Agriculture Ministers to adopt natural farming practices on their own farms, aiming to inspire confidence among farmers. The conference proposed the 'Khet Bachao Abhiyan' as a joint national initiative to promote sustainable practices.
