| description | This study maps India’s state of sustainable agriculture and how it can be scaled up to secure farm incomes, nutrition security, and natural capital in a climate-changing world. It identifies approximately 30 of the most relevant sustainable agriculture practices in India and assesses the 16 most promising of them in detail. This research gathers insights through a systematic literature review.more than 40 consultations with government officials, agriculture institutions, and a primary survey with 180 CSOs promoting sustainable agriculture. An extensive study of these practices infers that sustainable agriculture is on the margins in the country. The gathered insights pinpoint specific measures to promote sustainable agriculture by reassessing public support structures, building evidence, and the capacity of farmers, etc. By assessing the on-ground adoption of these practices and their impact on incomes, the environment, and society, this research aims to aid researchers, policymakers, donors, and civil societies in making informed decisions for scaling up sustainable farming in India. |
