Organic agriculture in India has significant potential due to the traditional farming methods used by many small farmers. Currently, around 2508826 hectares are under certified organic cultivation in India. Major organic products produced include tea, rice, spices, pulses, fruits and vegetables. While export is a major driver, the domestic organic market is growing but still small, estimated at around 1200 tonnes. Some key challenges facing growth of organic agriculture in India include high certification costs, lack of market information and infrastructure for farmers, and limited government support through subsidies and development efforts.
- Agriculture is a major part of the Indian economy, providing livelihood for many and accounting for a significant portion of GDP and exports. However, agricultural productivity and farmer incomes remain low due to issues across the agricultural value chain from inputs and production to marketing and processing.
- There is significant waste in the current agricultural system, with only a small portion of produce being processed. This represents both economic losses and missed opportunities for development.
- India has great potential for growth and development across agricultural sectors from horticulture and livestock to fisheries and forestry if these issues can be addressed through coordinated efforts in research, extension, credit access, and developing agribusiness opportunities.
- Agriculture contributes 13% to Egypt's GDP but receives low public investment and expenditures on R&D. Population growth and water scarcity are increasing pressure on agricultural resources.
- Food and nutrition insecurity, driven by poverty, climate risks, and policy instability, are major contributors to social vulnerability in Egypt. Weak agricultural markets and lack of regulations allow traders to exploit small farmers.
- To improve agriculture and food security, Egypt needs institutional reforms, increased investment in innovation and extension services, improved access to finance for farmers, and policies to consolidate land and promote contracting agriculture. Without changes, water scarcity will severely worsen Egypt's food situation by 2050.

It notes that nearly three-quarters of Indian families depend on rural incomes, while 70% of India's poor live in rural areas. Low agricultural productivity at both the national and individual farmer level threatens India's food security. Proposed solutions include promoting institutional farming, subsidizing soil nutrients rather than compounds, developing organic farming techniques, and expanding food processing facilities.
This presentation was prepared and presented by J. K. Munguti from the Ministry of Industrialization Enterprise and Development during the Industrialization Week conference held at KICC Nairobi on 19th November 2013.
India has significant advantages in the food processing industry due to its large agricultural sector and diverse climatic conditions. It is the second largest producer of arable land globally and has a large livestock population. The food processing industry is growing rapidly due to rising incomes, urbanization, and changing consumer preferences. Exports of processed foods have also increased substantially in recent years due to India's strategic location and improvements in quality and packaging. The government is supporting the industry through various policies and infrastructure investments to take advantage of the strong domestic and global demand prospects in coming years.

This presentation was presentaed during the seminar Soils & Pulses: symbiosis for life that took place at FAO HQ on 19 Apr 2016. it was made by Wafaa El Khoury and it presents The contribution of smallholder farmers to the Agenda 2030.
This document summarizes the findings of a study conducted by IFPRI on the impacts of the Ukraine crisis and global food, fuel, and fertilizer price shocks on Tanzania's economy, poverty levels, and food security. The study uses an economywide modeling approach to estimate that the price shocks will cause a 1.3% decline in GDP, a 2.1 percentage point increase in poverty, and deteriorating diet quality for 3 million people in Tanzania. The impacts are felt throughout the economy but particularly affect the agricultural sector and poor households. The document outlines the transmission channels and drivers of these impacts. Next steps discussed are evaluating policy options to mitigate the crisis's effects on food systems, poverty, and food insecurity
FOOD PRICE INFLATION IN INDIA & REFORMS AND POLICIESSambit Mishra
India experienced high food price inflation from 2008-2010 for 12 commodities including rice, wheat, pulses and vegetables. This was due to several factors including a fall in agricultural production due to poor monsoon seasons, increased domestic and global demand, higher support prices and speculation. The government implemented several policies to help tame food inflation including augmenting supply through imports, deflating the stimulus package to reduce excess liquidity, reforming the agricultural market system, and enhancing private investment in agriculture. However, more comprehensive reforms are still needed across the entire agricultural system to boost production and incomes in a sustainable manner.

Why Ethiopian agricultural sector has not been successful as expected in term...MuhammedaminHussen
This document outlines key issues facing Ethiopia's agricultural sector and proposes strategies for transformation. It discusses Ethiopia's heavy reliance on agriculture but notes the sector has not met expectations due to problems like land shortage, fragmentation, and degradation. Climate change impacts like drought and erratic rainfall further undermine productivity. The document advocates for integrated approaches like encouraging large-scale commercial farms through incentives, improving agricultural finance access, adopting small farm machinery, developing greenhouse farming and supply chain infrastructure, and establishing environmental sustainability and irrigation policies. It concludes by posing policy dialogue questions around the role of agriculture versus industry, challenges with the ADLI strategy, priorities for smallholder versus large-scale farms, and Ethiopia's readiness for greenhouse farming.
Wherefore livestock? Does animal agriculture have a role in future food systems?ILRI
The document discusses the role of animal agriculture in future global food systems. It notes that demand for animal source foods is rising rapidly and livestock production has high economic value but also environmental and health impacts. However, unpacking the data reveals opportunities for livestock to contribute to sustainable economic growth, livelihoods, nutrition, and ecosystems, especially through smallholder systems. Improving productivity and feeding practices of smallholder livestock could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting rising demand for animal proteins.
Evolution of animal production in emerging markets: China, Russia, India, Bra...ILRI
The document discusses trends and trajectories in global animal agriculture between now and 2050. Three key points:
1) Demand and production of livestock products are rapidly increasing in developing countries, especially in places like China, India, and Africa. This is driven by population growth, rising incomes, and urbanization.
2) Smallholder mixed crop-livestock systems will experience some of the greatest changes and opportunities. These diverse systems in places like Africa and South Asia offer opportunities to close yield gaps and reduce disease and emissions.
3) Plausible future scenarios depend on uncertain variables like climate change, technology, and disease outbreaks. This could lead to scenarios like sustainable intensification or climate-related crises
Importance of livestock production from grasslands for national and local foo...ILRI
Presented by Iain A Wright, Polly Ericksen, Andrew Mude, Lance W. Robinson and Jason Sircely at the International Grassland Congress, New Delhi, 20-24 November 2015
The document outlines the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's refreshed strategy for agricultural development. It discusses focusing investments on staple crops and livestock in key regions that can have large impacts on poverty reduction. The two-pronged approach includes developing global public goods and deeper engagement in priority countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The goal is to sustainably improve the productivity of poor farming families and reduce hunger and poverty.
This document outlines steps for analyzing and addressing a social problem or situation: 1) Identify the situation, 2) Collect information from multiple perspectives, 3) Reflect on what is concerning and why, 4) Ask questions to understand the history, decisions, groups and values involved, 5) Work to understand the full situation, and 6) Strategize and plan ways to resolve the problem based on the understanding developed. It then provides a detailed analysis of the situation of smallholder farmers in the Philippines, identifying factors that prevent them from achieving their potential, such as market inefficiencies and lack of investment, and makes recommendations.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

2011-2015 with mid-term market outlook highly
uncertain and dependent on future verifications
of political, economic and agri policies
● Spread of tolerant pest varieties
● Less water resources available

an increased area of irrigated and intensive farming
plus an increased area of orchards and
greenhouses.
● Partial shift in farming patterns from field crops to
vegetables
● Advanced farm management practices and better
yields
