Firefly Life Sciences, a city-based company specialising in soil health and nutrition management, in a recent report, has emphasised the urgent need to inculcate soil restoration and climate resilient practices into the country’s agricultural policy.
The report titled ‘Soil Restoration and Climate Resilient Agricultural Frameworks to Safeguard India’s Food Security’ argues that soil restoration and climate resilience (SRCR) need to be put at the forefront of India’s agricultural paradigm and policy.
“Soil is fundamental to all living organisms and therefore compromised soil will enfeeble all the organisms and interconnected ecosystems dependent on it. Restoring soil and inculcating climate resilience needs to combine traditional and contemporary knowledge and technologies to create robust agricultural practices that can face up to the rapidly growing environmental challenges,” states the report.
