@Pijush_hazarika @agri_assam @diprassam
A significant step toward safeguarding Assam's agriculture against floods and climate risks.
Glad to attend the MoU signing between Government of Assam and @IFPRI in Guwahati today. Guided by the vision of Hon'ble Chief Minister Dr. @himantabiswa dangoriya, this collaboration will anchor agricultural policymaking in evidence-based research, with a focused drive on flood adaptation and sustainable rural livelihoods.
Grateful for the presence of Chief Secretary Shri Ravi Kota, former Secretary to GoI Shri T. Nandakumar and esteemed representatives from IFPRI.
At the 34th Annual @AeraIndia Conference, the @CGIARPolicy Innovation Hub, @IFPRI, @ICRISAT & @IcarNiap brought together experts to explore how India can rethink its fertilizer policy landscape.🌾👩🌾🇮🇳
Strengthening domestic production, diversifying nutrient sources & reducing exposure to global supply disruptions.📈
Opportunities for the fertilizer industry to move beyond individual products towards integrated plant nutrition and agronomic advisory services were highlighted.
#WayForward: Fertilizer policy must be considered as part of the wider agricultural system.
Better-aligned subsidies, inclusive support mechanisms, stronger research/extension, & market incentives can help advance more efficient, & sustainable nutrient management in India. 🌾🇮🇳
On #InternationalDayOfRuralWomen, we take a look at how to measure what policies miss!📊👩🌾
