India requires climate-resilient agriculture (CRA) to address the impacts of climate change on food production. CRA employs biotechnology and complementary technologies like biofertilizers, genome-edited crops, and AI analytics to enhance productivity, reduce chemical input dependence, and improve soil health. With over half of India's sown area being rainfed and vulnerable to climate variability, CRA is crucial for maintaining food security, potentially mitigating yield losses in staple crops, and strengthening the nation's food independence.
