Major Research Areas | • Soil Health, Regenerative Agriculture and Integrated Nutrient Management. • Water Conservation, Precision Irrigation and Water-Use Efficiency. • Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation and Climate-Resilient Agriculture. • Integrated Farming Systems, Organic and Natural Farming. • Management of Challenged Agro-Ecologies, Agroforestry and Agrobiodiversity. • Natural Resource Inventory, Digital Mapping and Decision Support Systems. |
Key Challenges Addressed | • Declining soil health, land degradation, nutrient imbalances and inefficient fertilizer use affecting agricultural productivity and sustainability. • Water scarcity, groundwater depletion, inefficient irrigation and climate-induced water stress threatening agricultural production. • Climate variability, extreme weather events and greenhouse gas emissions affecting agricultural productivity and farm livelihoods. • Low farm profitability and unsustainable production practices in rainfed, arid, saline, coastal, hill and other challenged agro-ecologies. • Inadequate spatial information, resource monitoring and decision support for sustainable land-use planning and evidence-based policies. |
Emerging / Future Areas | • AI-enabled soil and water intelligence, precision resource management, geospatial analytics and real-time decision support. • Carbon-smart and nature-positive agriculture, soil carbon monitoring, greenhouse gas mitigation and ecosystem restoration. • Climate-resilient circular farming systems integrating renewable energy, biological inputs, resource recycling and sustainable intensification. |
