Union Minister Launches Campaign to Address Fertiliser Imbalance and Explore Climate Finance
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched the "Khet Bachao Abhiyan" campaign on October 22 in Karnal, Haryana, aiming to address the imbalanced use of chemical fertilisers that harm soil, groundwater, and air quality. Despite efforts to promote balanced nutrient use aligned with state recommendations, challenges persist due to pricing policies and entrenched practices. Meanwhile, India’s extensive digital farm data infrastructure offers potential to support climate-linked financing, though converting data into measurable, financeable climate outcomes remains a policy challenge.
