As the Indian population continues to grow there will be an immense competition for natural resources while achieving food, nutritional, environmental and livelihood security in the country. In addition, the negative consequences of climate change become more evident in agriculture with exploitation of natural resources, decline in soil fertility, ground water levels to meet the ever increasing demands for food and nutritional requirements. To maintain sustainable balance between natural resources and the demand, immediate attention is needed in several areas viz., imbalanced use of fertilizers, declining soil organic carbon, lowering of water table, soil health, organic farming and climate change impact in agriculture sector.

Recent studies on soil biodiversity, rapid composting techniques, use of bio-filters for removal of heavy metals from compost, application of Nano sensors in agriculture to improve nutrient use efficiency, need based fortification of micro nutrients; availability of soil health card, conservation agriculture for enhancing soil health etc. will support sustainable management of natural resources in agriculture.

With a particular focus on scientific and technical understanding of natural resources management, this portal tries to incorporate stakeholders suggestions in achieving sustainable natural resources management.

I believe that when we talk about natural resources food and water are the first two components that strike our minds, because without them we cannot survive. Therefore, our supplies and demands should be balanced in order to manage the livelihood and security in India. In the rural areas, environmental organizations or NGOs can help out the people in the rural to produce or grow their own food. This way they will earn their own living, hence giving them security.

Everyday hearing farmers suicide news matter us for the deepest sorrow and our heart cries, weeps for some effective and prompt relief to take them out from the darkest valley of despair. We have to materialize our sound plan on networking basis. Instead of investing huge amount in the name of VVIPs conferences, krishi exhibitions, unproductive project expenditure etc. We should directly invest on feasible location specific plan where cost can directly converted to immediate and assured gains.

Celebrating month of June as 'Vriksharopan Maas' (Tree Plantation Month) starting on June 5 i.e. World Environment Day. Southwest Monsoon spreads all over the India during the month of June. Every week ask people to plant trees in large numbers where Monsoon has arrived. I am attaching the pdf with more detailed points on this idea. Request all to provide constructive feedback and help this idea see the day of the light.

Educate people in hydroponics. A tank of farmed fish/shrimp produces enough nitrogenous waste to grow vegetables hydroponically. It will a closed system. Plants remove the wastes and the water is recycled back into the fish/shrimp farm. Plants and protein sources all in one neat package. Time we learnt and used hydroponics to add to the food source.

there is no need to spend large sums of money just on the advertisements for green india. One of the solutions can be roping in baba ramdev for this task. we all know that patanjali is 20000 crore rupees business and is growing as we speak. All his medicines and edibles contain one or the other plant form. so why not give him the land on the side of the highways and the unused land on the divider of these highways for free to grow the trees and take care of them and employ locals for this.

If we work seriously very hard on planning, organizing, coordinating, communicating and controlling (wherever it deviates from set point/direction) our activities then on any project with vigorous monitoring, no challenge can differ us from culmination of our best achievements.We have everything best of the world such as sharp brains, beautiful resources what not, only commitment is the solution?
