ICRISAT was designed by Prof. MS Swaminathan at the request of Indira Gandhi after learning from the Green Revolution and the need for integrated farm research to support sustainable intensification for Indian dryland agriculture Indian dryland agriculture – over 65% of India’s agriculture land and 40% of its food production come from this ecology More than 85 percent of India’s farmers work land that is one acre or less. (UN-FAO)
