COP28 has come and gone. There’s a need to reduce emissions from farming and food systems; but it must not create solutions on the backs of the developing world farmers, including the 700 million-plus Indians who rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.

Like our childhood, basant seems to belong to a bygone era. Now in just a couple of days the mercury jumps many degrees and the harsh Indian summer is upon us. From rajai and no-fan nights, we go straight into air conditioned rooms. And, more worryingly, the rising heat and disappearing spring is a direct threat to our granaries.

Like edible oils, India is also dependent on the import of chemical fertilisers which are vital for the country's food production. Natural gas is the primary component used in manufacturing these fertilisers and Russia which is waging a war in Ukraine is the biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) which means the subsidised prices at which the Indian farmers buy these fertilisers will shoot Indian government's expenses.
