| Abstract/Description: | INVEST IN SOIL HEALTH FOR FOOD SECURITY |
| Description: | The trinity of healthy seeds, healthy soil and enough water is indispensable for successful agriculture and prosperity of India. Using biotechnological breakthrough we may succeed to develop high yielding crops, but can it produce that yield on the impoverished soil ? Continuous mining of soil nutrients by high yielding crops and imbalanced fertilization since the Green Revolution has created a widespread negative balance ( 10 million tonnes/year of NPK) of major and essential micronutrients, and this gap is continuing year after year. The soil biota, which is the 'root' of healthy soil for efficient nutrient cycling is losing its genetic and functional diversity due to imbalanced fertilization, injudicious use of pesticides, unabated soil pollution and negligible or no return of organic residues. Soil carbon has reached to less than a critical level of 0.5% in many areas, rendering the soil more fragile, poor in buffering and resilience against biotic or abiotic stresses. |
