SUMMARY:Direct-Seeded Rice: Maximizing Efficiency and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our 7th session under Knowledge Spectrum Series (KSS)\, jointly by us and the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture (CSA)\nPlease scroll down for the details\nContext\nRice is life\, more than 65% of people depend on rice as a staple food and more than 35% of cropped area is under rice. At the same time\, rice consumes the highest amount of water and fertilisers and has a significant impact on the environment. The water consumption is nearly 60 lakhs lit/acre and nearly 5000 lit kg of rice. The stagnated water results in methane and nitrous oxide from fertilisers are responsible for a high GHG footprint of about 10 tons of carbon equivalent per acre per season. Also\, puddling is done to prevent infiltration and destroys soil structure. In this context shifting towards sustainable rice production is essential. Direct-seeded rice is one such initiative to grow rice without puddling and stagnated water. \nAgainst this backdrop\, join the discussion with Dr G Rajashekar\, an agricultural scientist from the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture\, with more than 20 years of experience in organic farming and establishing seed systems. We will address the challenges in cultivating rice crops and how direct-seeded rice can address those challenges. Our aim is to explore how we can transform the challenges into an opportunity. \n \nClick on the above image to go to the registration link.\nSession will be LIVE on both\, Zoom and YouTube. The Zoom link will be shared through your registered email ids. Thanks

SUMMARY:Transition to Organic/Natural Farming: Issues and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our 6th Session under ‘Knowledge Spectrum Series’\nGoing LIVE on both\, Zoom and YouTube channels\, tomorrow 1st July from 3:00 to 5:00 pm IST. Those who cannot join through Zoom ID\, please click here for the YouTube link \nPlease register yourself for the session. Scroll down for details\n \n\n\nThe rising consumer demand for safe and healthy food\, coupled with the urgent challenges posed by climate change\, has propelled organic and natural farming to the forefront of policy discussions. This transition towards organic farming is currently underway\, but numerous questions still linger regarding certain aspects: \n\nYield Penalties: One major concern is whether yields will decline during the transition to organic farming. Understanding the potential impact on productivity is crucial for farmers considering this shift.\nCertification and Labeling: The influence of certification and labelling systems on retail marketing and consumer choices is another significant aspect. How these systems are implemented and communicated can greatly affect the perception and uptake of organic products in the market.\nSupport Systems: Farmers require adequate support systems to successfully transition to organic farming. Identifying and providing the necessary resources\, knowledge\, and assistance can facilitate a smooth and effective transition.\n\nIf you have an interest in organic farming\, or if you are an entrepreneur or producer collective aiming to enter the organic food marketing space\, we invite you to join us for an insightful discussion on the challenges and opportunities involved in transitioning to organic farming. \nLeading this discussion will be Dr GV Ramanjaneyulu\, an experienced agriculture scientist with over 20 years of expertise in promoting organic farming\, developing organic certification systems\, and building sustainable supply chains.
