Did you know that 90% of the food we consume relies on healthy soil? Healthy soil ensures better crop yields, resilience to climate change, and sustainable farming practices that feed the world today and tomorrow. As we face growing challenges like soil degradation and climate change, investing in soil health is not just an agricultural priority but a global necessity. Let’s champion initiatives that protect and restore soil health—because food security starts from the ground up! #SoilHealth #FoodSecurity #Sustainability #Agriculture #sdg2 #RuralDevelopment

The officials shared about government programs available for farmers and encouraged them to adopt better agricultural practices. Several community members shared their experiences of using the super seeders to minimize stubble burning. The Crop Residue Management (CRM) project raises awareness and promotes the use of super seeder machines to help incorporate paddy residue into the soil, thus increasing soil fertility and boosting yields across 100 villages in Kurukshetra and Kaithal districts of Haryana. #cropresiduemanagement #nostubbleburning #farming #agriculturalrpoductivity #agriculture #Haryana #walmartIndiafoundation
