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.

When we start growing at around 10%, there will be a strain on all resources and environment. If we can get small distressed farmers to convert 1 acre of their land to solar power, and pump in money from PPF sector, Then 30 lakh farmers will get about 1.5 lakh per anum (for 1 acre). Distributed 25MW electricity will be generated providing 25% of Indias future electricity need. Read the full concept here: http://nikhiloza.com/solar-revolution-using-small-farms-land-in-india/

Respected Sir, our request is to give the duty of planting a tree and taking care of it for the next five years to a student of class five. In this mission you can take an examination of hundred marks in the matrick which will depend on the health of the plant. We think that, with the help of this mission, we can bring human beings closer to the environment and the hope of changing the environment will succeed.

Entrepreneurs worry to invest because the farmers are not aware of the fact that the profit with hybrid seeds can make changes. farmers are not educated to but such seeds, neither government promotes. Their is a gap of one crop plantation only. one free seed from such tissue culture facility can change the mental status. We need industrialist to innovate in such CSR activities and donate seeds and explants to selected farmers in their regions.

With regular innovations and scientific advancements everything everywhere is improving. When we have high yielding hybrid seeds which have capabilities to resist any/every condition, we still have no resources to capitalize it. when a farmer can grow tonnes we are making policies to secure his Kgs. We really need good tissue culture facilities to provide the correct weapon to our farmers to produce the best with the technical advancements. lets sow of today technology not yesterdays.

Suggestion to evade uncertainity in agriculture crop production in the increase 'climate change' trend on earth. Government should encourage farmers to build green-house system on their field by using re-usable energy sources will be plus point for it. Government should give Farmers subsidy, loans at cheaper rates and can also encourage NGOs to participate in this campaign. This will begin new & advanced green revolution which covers all crops & Farm sector GDP reach higher level.

20th March was a world sparrow day. On facebook i could go through the beautifull words by shree harivanshrai bachaan which bachaanji shared. It was a conversation with sparrow the great poet wrote in his beautifull time where there was all greenery around with chirping sparrows. It suddenly inspired me to write the same conversation if i had today with the same sparrow.... Attached is the same.

Dear Modiji,i personally believe that this is completely waste of public money.you know that Chinese high speed projects are running in negative.Then how you took this decision.God knows.Even we would be suffering from shortages of agriculture land in future.Why not this money should have to be invested in underground tunnels to connect the all biggest cities in India.This will reduce the risks of accidents and less use of our fertile lands and less damages of our properties to develop this.
