Abstract

While the world is grappling with adversities caused by climate change, the agricultural sector has been the hardest hit, posing a new set of challenges for food security. As the developing world is still struggling with rampant poverty and malnutrition, an alternative framework that could promote climate-resilient and water-saving agriculture emerges as an exigency. In this context, climate-resilient crops like millets acquire the greatest significance as they are not only sustainable and low on climate-critical resources like water but also add to the diversity of the nutritional basket of farmers in rain-fed regions. In this light, the adoption of the India-sponsored resolution declaring 2023 as the International Year of Millets by the United Nations General Assembly is extremely crucial and needs to be analysed with reference to its potentiality to ensure sustainable food security in India in sync with UN Sustainable Development Goals on Poverty and Food Security. Given the potential of millets, this article aims to analyse innovative and sustainable pathways to agriculture from Indian Independence to Amrit Kaal, in alignment with goals of productivity enhancement, energy transition and climate action of the Government of India. It examines the policies and programmes of the government implemented to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) during the Amrit Kaal.
庆祝 2023 国际小米年:从小米的视角分析印度自独立以来到阿姆里特卡尔的可持续粮食安全状况
全世界都在努力应对气候变化带来的不利影响,农业部门受到的冲击最大,给粮食安全带来了一系列新的挑战。由于发展中世界仍在与严重的贫困和营养不良作斗争,迫切需要建立一个替代框架,以促进具有气候复原力的节水型农业。在这种情况下,像黍子这样具有气候适应能力的作物就显得尤为重要,因为它们不仅具有可持续性,对水等气候关键资源的需求量较低,而且还能增加雨水灌溉地区农民营养篮子的多样性。有鉴于此,联合国大会通过印度提出的宣布 2023 年为国际黍米年的决议极为重要,需要结合其在确保印度可持续粮食安全方面的潜力进行分析,以与联合国关于贫困和粮食安全的可持续发展目标保持一致。鉴于黍谷的潜力,本文旨在分析从印度独立到阿姆里特卡尔(Amrit Kaal)的创新和可持续农业发展道路,与印度政府提高生产力、能源转型和气候行动的目标保持一致。文章研究了印度政府在阿姆里特卡尔时期为实现 "发达印度"(Viksit Bharat)目标而实施的政策和计划。
