A NEW PARADIGM FOR INDIAN AGRICULTURE FROM AGROINDUSTRY TO AGROECOLOGY

Summary

India's agricultural sector faces a critical dilemma: traditional industrial farming, while increasing land productivity, has led to significant environmental degradation and failed to proportionally enhance agricultural labor productivity, rendering the country's structural transformation unsustainable. This NITI Aayog working paper proposes a shift towards a new paradigm rooted in agroecological principles, aiming to simultaneously boost farm productivity and ensure long-term environmental sustainability and climate resilience. The document serves as a policy recommendation for adopting this new approach at scale.
