📢 #JoinUs for a #seminar on 'Developing India’s #Food #Processing Sector: Farm Politics, Federalism, and State-Directed Development'. 🗣️Dr. Surupa Gupta, Professor @MaryWash .📍ICAR-IARI Campus, PUSA, New Delhi.🕒July 1, 2025, 3:30PM I.S.T.#RegisterNow

Honored to see the inauguration of the Climate Resilience Cell #CRC and the Policy Round Table, organized by @IFPRI, featured in the 2024–25 Activity Report of @krushibibhag (DAFE-GoO). We remain committed to our vision of building #climate-#resilient #agriculture in #Odisha!🤝

#Voices from the event: “Livelihood strategies must consider Bihar’s unique sociological and market realities. With shrinking farms and youth opting out, systemic, inclusive solutions are essential.” Prof. Debiprasad Mishra, Director, @DMI_Patna.#RuralDevelopment #InclusiveGrowth

Transforming agri-food systems is also about #people. Today’s dialogue also emphasized dairy, fisheries, FPOs & women-led models like JEEViKA as cornerstones for resilient rural livelihoods. 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾.#InclusiveGrowth.

#Voices from the event: “Farmer income, nutrition, and climate must be at the core. Even simple changes in production and marketing processes can boost earnings. Need to look at capturing lost value in the supply chain.” Shri T. Nanda Kumar, Former GoI Secretary.#AgriInnovation

#Voices from the event: “Bihar’s agri-future lies in climate-resilient rice, indigenous breeds, and high-value crops. With FPOs, startups, and private partners, we can make farming sustainable and inclusive.” Dr. Ujjwal Kumar, Director, @icarrcer .#AgTech #FPOs

🔍#DidYouKnow .From 2020–24, Bihar’s maize output jumped 77%!🌽.It also leads in #GI-tagged products like #Makhana & #Litchi🍈.Yet, post-harvest losses, poor logistics & narrow export baskets limit farmers' income. #WhatBiharNeeds: strengthen exports, infra, & value chains.

#Voices from the event: “Today’s challenges are complex and interconnected. We must move beyond ‘business-as-usual.’ With Bihar’s agri-dependence, climate-smart solutions and allied sector integration are critical.” Dr. Shahidur Rashid, Director @IFPRI South Asia.#ClimateSmartAg

#Voices from the event: “Floods, droughts, and pest pressures are real. Initiatives like Jal-Jeevan-Hariyali show promise, but we need scalable, science-backed, and collaborative responses to climate stress.” Shri Anil Kumar Jha, Cane Commissioner, GoB.#AgriResilience

Bihar ranks among India's most #ClimateVulnerable states. Floods up north, droughts in the south and shifting crop patterns threaten both productivity & livelihoods.

#Voices from the event: “Production must match consumption. Bihar leads in seed replacement but faces post-harvest bottlenecks. Strong market linkages and cold-chain infra are vital for fair farmer returns.” Shri Pankaj Kumar, Principal Secretary,@Agribih, GoB

With agriculture employing 77% of Bihar’s population and contributing 20.2% to the state’s GVA, transforming the sector is central to the vision of #viksitbihar 🌾🚜.#ClimateResilience #RuralIndia.

The event, hosted by @IFPRI in partnership with @CGIARPolicy, @icarindia, @DMI_Patna & @bihartimescom Development Foundation, focused on:.✅#Market & #valuechain reforms.✅#Climate #adaptation.✅Rural sustainability & #inclusion
