तेज़ी से बढ़ते शहरीकरण और घटती कृषि भूमि के बीच छत पर खेती एक टिकाऊ विकल्प बनकर उभरी है। नए शोध में सेंसर फ्यूजन और फ़ज़ी लॉजिक आधारित स्वचालित सिंचाई प्रणाली ने न सिर्फ पानी की बचत की, बल्कि पारंपरिक तरीकों की तुलना में 50% तक अधिक उपज भी दर्ज की।

Both over and under development of groundwater is limiting the adaptive capacity of Indian agriculture to climate change. Solar irrigation, expanding across India, may provide an opportunity to manage groundwater in both over and underexploited areas.

A research report prepared by the Foundation of Agrarian Studies highlighted that while the share of central government expenditure was reduced, there was an increase in the share of state government expenditure. It also found that the government expenditure on agriculture as a share of gross value added in agriculture has declined considerably in the past decade. Details here.

The ambitious scheme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for checking the soil from the field is facing glitches. The concerned officials send reports to farmers without even collecting samples. Not just this, a single field gets multiple and varied reports

There is a need to reinvent the PM-KUSUM scheme by bringing in equity and gender into India’s ambitious plan to solarise the agriculture sector. Solar irrigation pump sets must enable farmers to earn by selling 60-70 per cent of their solar generation.

Despite being useful, micro drip irrigation and sprinkler systems, are not widely adopted in Odisha and Assam. The Resilience Project is trying to popularise these efficient irrigation systems among smallholder farmers.

Under the Centre's KUSUM scheme, farmers are provided huge subsidy to adopt off-grid solar-powered agricultural pumps to meet the irrigation needs. But, in drought-hit parts of Vidarbha and Marathwada, about four months a year these solar pumps are of no use as water sources dry up. Experts call for reinventing the scheme
