Asia Regional Program Planning Meeting- Achieving self sufficiency in pulse p...ICRISAT
On average, over the last three years Indian’s consumed approximately 22 million tonnes of pulses per annum but produced only 18 million tonnes, leaving a shortfall of 4 million tonnes.Pulse self-sufficiency means food security, greater wealth for Indian farmers and a more favourable balance of trade for the nation.Protein energy malnutrition (PEM) is a major public health problem in India. The prevalence of stunting among under fives is 48% and wasting is 19.8% and with an underweight prevalence of 42.5%, it is the highest in the world.
Global Pulse Scenario: Consumption, Production and TradeICARDA
Global pulse consumption is increasing but per capita consumption is declining. Production is around 72 million tons annually from 80 million hectares, with the top five pulses (dry beans, chickpeas, dry peas, cowpeas, and lentils) accounting for about 80% of production. Yields are increasing in developed countries but stagnant in developing countries, where most pulses are grown. Trade in pulses is growing and around 12 million tons annually, with developed countries exporting 65% and developing countries importing 82%. Future outlook predicts global pulse demand to increase by 10-23% by 2030, requiring a doubling of yields or additional area to meet demand.

WHEAT: The Vital Grain of Civilization and Food SecurityCIMMYT
Wheat is a vital staple crop that is grown on 215 million hectares worldwide, an area equivalent to the size of Greenland. Nearly $50 billion worth of wheat is traded globally each year. Wheat provides a key source of protein for many developing countries, and is the dominant staple crop in North Africa and Central Asia, providing up to half of daily calories. Meeting rising global demand for wheat by 2050 will require growing 60% more wheat than today. While improved varieties and practices have increased wheat production since the 1960s, extreme weather and market instability have caused price spikes that harm poor consumers. Continued development of new wheat technologies and policies can help meet accelerating global demand in a sustainable way.

Strategies for Doubling the Farmers Income Through Temperate Fruit Crops Tawseef Baba
The document discusses strategies for doubling farmers' incomes in India through the cultivation of temperate fruit crops. It outlines Prime Minister Modi's goal of doubling farmers' incomes by 2022. Currently, over 20% of rural households earn less than the poverty line, and farming is uneconomical for many with small landholdings. The document then proposes several strategies to achieve this goal for temperate fruits, including enhancing crop productivity through improved varieties; efficient resource management with protected cultivation and precision farming; enhancing fruit quality; developing climate-resilient technologies; integrated pest management; minimizing post-harvest losses; and conducting marketing and economics research.
Smallholder farmers dominate agriculture in South Asia, with the majority having landholdings less than 1 hectare. While agriculture remains important for poverty reduction, food security, and economic growth in the region, rethinking pathways is needed to ensure prosperity given concerns around tiny landholdings and volatile cereal yields exacerbated by climate change. Diversification towards high-value crops and livestock presents opportunities but also risks, requiring investment in infrastructure, technology, market access and risk management.
The document discusses strategies for increasing food production in India to meet future demand. It notes that India faces a monumental challenge in feeding its growing population but that human ingenuity and science can help boost food supply. Current trends show India has become self-sufficient in many crops through yield increases via crop breeding programs and hybrid varieties. The document advocates further applying technologies like GM crops, biofortification, and genome editing to develop higher-yielding, more nutritious crop varieties in order to ensure food security for India by 2050 in a sustainable manner.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
