Revitalising Rainfed Agriculture Network’s Post

🌱 Rainfed Agriculture: A Pillar of Resilient Food Systems 🌾 Watch Dr. Sabyasachi Das, National Coordinator of RRA Network, delivering the Rainfed Thematic Pavilion Summary at the Food Systems Summit 2024 in Delhi. This powerful presentation sheds light on the indispensable role of rainfed systems in India’s food security, climate resilience, and rural livelihoods. 📹 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/g7dm85Af Dr. Das underlines the importance of integrating traditional knowledge, collaborative partnerships, and innovative practices to transform rainfed landscapes. The session highlighted actionable pathways for scaling solutions that balance ecology and economy—reinforcing rainfed agriculture as a cornerstone of sustainable food systems. “Water has been one of the central themes of #RainfedArea management. Instead of prioritising infrastructure for irrigation, we need to view rainfed water management from the lens of co-creation of the water sources and their joint management through local governance systems and communities. This requires unlocking investments at scale.” A special thanks to all partners who made the Rainfed Thematic Pavilion a success. Together, we’re driving meaningful change for resilient agriculture! 💪🌾 Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU), Bharat Krishak Samaj, TERI - The Energy and Resources Institute, WRI India, franklin khobung, Ajay Vir Jakhar, WASSANIndia #RainfedAgriculture #FoodSystems2024 #SustainableFarming #ClimateAction #RRA #ClimateResilience

🌾World Food Day 🌾 As the our population increases, we face a growing need to produce more food. A situation which is exacerbated by inclement weather conditions and rural-urban migration. This highlights a need for intentional collaborations within the private sector to produce and distribute food more efficiently. There is also a need for more public sector commitment to making food production more attractive for the next generation of producers. #WorldFoodDay #SmallGrowrLimited #CCSPREN #RegenerativeAgriculture #InclusiveMarketSytemsDevelopment #ResponsibleFoodProduction #SustainableTrade
