Punjab and Haryana lead climate resilient agriculture at regional policy dialogue in Chandigarh
Bathinda: Once the driving force behind Green Revolution, Punjab and Haryana prepare to reclaim their leadership role in agriculture — this time by tackling climate change. A high-level policy roundtable on June 5 in Chandigarh will chart a course toward climate-resilient and sustainable farming for the region. Titled 'Regional Policy Dialogue on Climate Change and Its Impact on Agriculture', the event will be held at Panjab University and bring together policymakers, scientists, agri-entrepreneurs, progressive farmers, and environmental experts. The dialogue is part of the Sustainability Matters and IndiAgri national series, supported by Solidaridad, FIJEEHA, and the Centre for Environment and Development Studies (CEDS). Navneet Anand, executive director of Sustainability Matters, said: "Punjab and Haryana have always been laboratories of agricultural innovation. This dialogue comes at a critical time, as both states are making bold moves toward sustainable farming." The event will include sessions on water conservation, soil health, digital agriculture, and climate-resilient practices, aiming to develop actionable policy recommendations for the future of agriculture in North India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo As part of the programme, the Sustainability Awards 2024 will also be presented.
