Every year, India loses nearly 10 million hectares of fertile land to degradation. Our traditional farming methods, combined with overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, have pushed our soil to a breaking point. But this isn’t just an agricultural issue — it’s a climate and economic crisis waiting to unfold.
Through my work at Sportsland, I’ve witnessed firsthand how regenerative farming — focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and natural water cycles — can restore productivity while sequestering carbon. India’s new agricultural policies must embrace this shift urgently, or risk not just food security but the wellbeing of future generations.
For policymakers and investors alike, supporting regenerative agriculture isn’t just green idealism — it’s a practical solution with measurable benefits: healthier soil, cleaner water, and resilient rural livelihoods. This May, I urge you to recognize the soil beneath our feet as the foundation for India’s climate and economic resilience.
