| Description |
CCAFS, CIMMYT, the CGIAR Research Program on Wheat and partners provided science-based evidence to the Indian Government on crop residue burning. This encouraged the Indian Government to prioritize crop residue management solutions, and establish a large-scale routing investment of USD 170 million (INR 1150 crores). The investment popularizes the “Happy Seeder” technology—a tractor-mounted machine that lifts crop residues, sows seeds into the soil and deposits the residue over the sown area as mulch. The investment will benefit 2 million farmers, covering approx. 4 million hectares. |
