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.

Sir, Please ask to use Canal potable water for drinking purposes after proper treatment if required and use domestic discharge from urban cities for ferti-irrigation/gardening to protect soil from erosion and convert barren land into fertile land. If adopted on top priority, you can give healthy and wealthy life to all countrymen with less efforts/ time. Your team has to monitor the progress on day to day basis by heir and fire techniques as private enterprnures used to do.

I like Suchitra Raghavachari's idea to encourage school students to understand agriculture as a science, art and management theme. Perhaps on the lines of NCC, NSS credit points to students may be provided for those that take up summer / spring projects.

Isn't there a possibility to learn from other success stories within India and from across the world in terms of rural livelihood security? How about adapting the Amul experience to other forms of agricultural and rural enterprises? As for managing sustainability, appropriate local models of incentivisation will do the trick - let's remember that small is beautiful and sustainable and collaboration between small entities needs to be smartly encouraged.

The most important point that I would like to share is to stop cutting trees for production of Paper.....In fact on war footing all Central Government Offices throughout India should go "Paperless Office"....All Printed Material should now be in Digital Format right from Newspapers, Magazines, Annual Reports of Companies, Newsletters, etc etc.All forms of Digital Formats should be used so as to bring down consumption of Paper in all spheres thus saving TREES and in return saving our environment

Harvest crop wastes and also dead wood ,twigs,leaves and use as fuel for power generation and small scale food processing( baking, making snacks.Will save fossil fuels and increase local income in rural areas.Encourage small animal(goats,sheep)and poultry using local breeds and only farm watses and grasses as food inputs.Will result in organic food with higher value.
