In connection with the progressing climate change, the process of global warming, pro-ecological socio-economic changes referred to as the Green Revolution based on pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector, including the development of renewable energy sources, electromobility, improvement of waste segregation and recycling techniques, improvement of water management, development of ecological agriculture and many other green enterprises based on the concept of sustainable, pro-ecological development, green economy and / or circular economy are successively developed in many countries. Currently, this development is determined mainly by state support and specific environmental policy. Which country in the future will be more closely implemented in the economic processes of the principle of sustainable, pro-ecological development depends to a large extent on the recognition of a specific level of significance of this issue. In my opinion, individual countries should cooperate with each other so that the pro-ecological reform processes proceed as quickly as possible globally and in individual countries, because the global warming process is progressing faster, more and more often weather anomalies appear in many places on the globe, e.g. severe, prolonged droughts, decreasing water resources, increasing pollution of the natural environment and these are increasingly global problems.

Food security and agricultural self sustain are two interdependent issues. Of course, India is an agricultural back ground country and 70% of the total population lives in rural areas in agricultural works. In my opinion , yield of agricultural products increasing yearly due to use of mechanization, fertilizers, pesticides. Degradation of land so far not started.

However organic forming is best in all respect.

With all due respect I think your question is too vague.

" Food security issues, organic farming, land degradation, soil infertility and water exhaustive crops, sustainable agriculture has become buzz words these days. " On that we agree.

"The problem associated to green has negative impact on the ecosystem services of natural resources." what negative impact ? why ? how ? any example or reference ?

"Will the new policies on agriculture will fix the issue? " what specific policies ? who is making them?

I think a key point is to identify what are the governance mechanisms are in place, and who has the power to take decision to implement green business or policies. It is likely to be these people who will drive the policy change, or the absence of change. Hope it helps,

Best

The problem of capitalism production are the focus on negativies externalities. That are the big problem. When you look on the other side for the future you find soluctiona. For exemple in the Metroplitan region of São Paulo one of biggest regions in the world. the water resourses to supply the economic and populacional are the 100 m³ by second. And the water resourses come by distance of 100 km. The soluction for productin are preserve the hydrobasins of Atibaia River, and economic compensations for the farms where are the Atibaia Rivers. That soluctins are preserve and make grown the water resourses. And in the end, are more production of water and do not existe problens when you change the focus of externalities.

With food self sufficiency being achieved, what we require is to repair the damage to the environment. By taking corrective measures, the harmful effects of the Green Revolution can be reversed.

Has to, it's no longer a choice.

Prabuddh Kumar Mishra, Certainly, India has to reinvent the path towards evergreen revolution, as the premier green revolution (as you mention) that India had experienced poses several threats and challenges from many directions. First of all, the success of the first generation of green revolution depended on intensive use of natural resources, such as fertile land frontier and freshwater drawn mostly from groundwater resources, leading to degradation and depletion of the resources. India became self-sufficient in food production within less than two decades of green revolution, but, at a huge cost of the resources. The result being that by 1990s, agricultural production and productivity in most parts of India were seriously affected by problems of low, stagnant or even negative productivity, excepting few crops. Problems of loss of profitability with increasing costs of production also adversely affected agriculture. At the same time, the country had also witnessed tremendous demographic as well as socio-economic transformation, with the result that continuation of agriculture the way it had happened during 1960s through 2000s is confronting serious challenges. The changing climate patterns poses the most pernicious risks to sustainable agriculture in the country. Hence, the concept of 'evergreen revolution' though is very ideal to think of and achieve, so far to my knowledge, we haven't taken bold steps in terms of reforming or reinventing our agriculture practices through sustainable policies and governance systems. Several innovative programmes are being proposed and implemented across states by the national and state governments in terms of convergence schemes, without having a holistic perspective of taking the agriculture sector towards newer heights of sustainability. We have a long history of almost 70 years of agriculture development to talk about, where, the country had achieved significant gains by experimenting with state of the art technologies, institutional systems, but, has miserably failed with respect to reforming the agricultural markets for the benefits of the small and marginal farmers, who are grappling with several problems, especially, the increasing risks posed by climate changes.

Looking at developments in Indian agriculture systems and emerging scenarios both at the consumer demand side and pressure on ecosystem. Seems like sustainable agriculture is going to be the focus of Indian Agriculture..It may have different name like Organic farming, ZBNF, Climate smart agriculture or sustainable agriculture.

The benefits of sustainable agriculture are many folds, more then any one else, small and marginal farmers are at reduced risk along with better resilience to climatic and natural vulnerabilities while ensuring the food safety and nutrition.

The increased focus of Government along with pressure from Consumers and Civil society organizations across the World may be the drivers of sustainable agriculture.

India is a big and great country. It faces two great challenges. If you confront them wisely, it will achieve progress in all economic fields, including agriculture.

The first challenge is societal cohesion and peaceful coexistence between the components of the Indian people (especially Muslims and Hindus)

The second challenge is to manage its relationship with China, India and America

I am from Iraq and we have a huge stockpile of oil, but we suffer from the challenges that I mentioned earlier, and because of the failed policy, we are in retreat in all levels, including agriculture.

I wish all countries progress
