Agriculture & Farming

Regenerative agriculture is a holistic farming approach that emphasizes restoring and enhancing the health of entire ecosystems. Unlike conventional methods, which often focus solely on yield, regenerative practices aim to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and sequester carbon, thereby addressing environmental challenges such as climate change. Core Practices of Regenerative Agriculture: Crop Rotation and Diversity: Alternating different crops in succession to disrupt pest cycles and enhance soil nutrients. Cover Cropping: Planting specific crops during off-season periods to protect soil from erosion, suppress weeds, and improve nutrient content. Reduced or No Tillage: Minimizing soil disturbance to maintain its structure, enhance water retention, and support beneficial microorganisms. Agroforestry and Silvopasture: Integrating trees and shrubs into farming systems to boost biodiversity, improve soil health, and provide additional income sources. Managed Grazing: Rotati...

  In recent years, the debate surrounding the adoption of biotechnology in agriculture has gained significant traction in India. As the global agricultural landscape continues to evolve, farmers are calling for a shift toward embracing science-driven innovations to enhance crop productivity, resilience, and sustainability. In particular, farmers in Telangana have emerged as strong advocates for the integration of biotechnology into farming practices, urging policymakers to adopt science-based approaches for a sustainable agricultural future. The Role of Biotechnology in Agriculture Biotechnology offers transformative potential for addressing some of the most pressing challenges faced by farmers today, including crop diseases, pests, climate change, and soil degradation. By leveraging genetically modified organisms (GMOs), gene editing, and other biotechnological advancements, farmers can boost crop yields, enhance nutritional content, and reduce reliance on harmful chemical pestici...
