For farmers who have sown wheat across India’s northern plains, this year’s unusually high temperatures in February are a haunting reminder of last year’s damage to their crops. Similar heat waves last year had compromised India’s wheat production by 2.75 million tonnes or 2.5 per cent of the total output during 2020-21.

While it is facing a slew of economic sanctions imposed by the West for invading Ukraine, there has been a sudden rise in global demand for wheat, which has led to a surge in wheat prices in India as traders are keen to export the foodgrain. How will it impact the domestic market? More details here.

In his Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, from the ramparts of the Red Fort, said the mother earth was being destroyed due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Farmers will have to make some drastic changes in the way they have been functioning. Discarding modern practices and adopting old methodologies in farming won't help in undoing the damage that's already being done. We will have to make ancient methods favorable to the modern era

If you find your doctor regularly prescribing you multivitamins and iron, blame it on the food which is fast losing its nutritive value.The reason for this is the poor quality of soil which feeds the crops. Eating the harvest of largely undernourished soil, Indians remain undernourished despite filling up their stomachs
