Agricultural production systems

Sustainable Agriculture & Promoting Climate Resilient Land use and Crop Production Systems:

Agriculture is an important driver of India’s rural economy, with about 60% of agricultural land under rain-fed agriculture. Hence, we have emphasised in promoting sustainable agricultural practices for improving productivity in rain-fed areas. Our work in this area is a response to address farming crisis and farmers’ distress in rain-fed regions. Started with a study on farmers suicides in Warangal district in 1995, MARI continues to engage in finding appropriate solutions to farming crisis through promotion of non-pesticide management (NPM), enhancing quality of chillies to meet the export demand, seed village, organic agricultural production and better cotton initiatives.
