MSP is not only about stabilising prices for major crops like rice and wheat but also serves as an incentive for farmers to diversify their crops. By extending MSP to a variety of crops, the agricultural sector can witness diversification, promoting sustainable farming practices and reducing dependency on specific crops. MSP plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security for the nation by maintaining a stable production environment for key staples.

Harnessing innovation: Tools for methane reduction in dairy farming.Reducing methane emissions from cows is crucial for sustainable farming. Luckily, we have tools available to make a positive impact. Dr. Kebreab outlined various strategies during his webinar, including anaerobic digesters and covered storage for effective manure management. Let's leverage these innovative solutions to significantly reduce methane emissions from cattle. Together, we can create a greener and more sustainable future.#MethaneReduction #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint #selko #IntelliBond #feedadditives #dairycattlehttp://trouwntr.tn/2qo

Agriculture entails taking care of the land.True!!! Can you envision digital farming? What are we producing of humans?Really, agriculture is about more than just producing money it is a labor of land, planet careIn Reality everyone only talks about farmers no one wants to be a farmer everyone is accountable for the farmers present conditions Give 20 to 50 rupees to hotel waiters, but don't negotiate for 5 rupees with farmers don't just stand for farmer , be the farmer.Farming without farmers is akin to a body without a soul.#farmersfirst #farmers #farmersmarket #farmersinsurance Dairy Farmers of Canada | Les Producteurs laitiers du Canada #farmersaward #farmerssupport #farmersempowerment #farmerlife #environmentalsustainability #environnement #environmentalimpact #agriculture #agriculturainteligente #agriculturasostenible #agriculturafamiliar #linkdinfamily #linkedin #linkedincommunity Farmers Weekly NZ Farmers National Company Energy Farmes Farmer-to-Farmer Program at Partners of the Americas BASF Agricultural Solutions Agriculture

This is a pragmatic and appropriate perspective. Bioengineering is being used to diversify product offerings in traditional dairy and meat industries as well as to decrease their carbon footprint and address other sustainability challenges. The two tech classes are not on a collision course. Demand for high quality proteins is rapidly increasing as populations grow and dietary preferences change. Feeding this demand sustainably is our challenge and we need all industries working together to deliver the best outcome. Great thought leadership Number 8 bio

Wednesday Wonders:If reduced/no-till farming, reducing synthetic inputs, and using cover crops show statically significant impacts to farming emissions & planet health…1) Who’s is actually running the show? Not USDA? Hmmm.🧐 Federal crop insurance ensures farmers have protection, but which ones benefit the most? >> Farms in the top 10 percent of the crop sales distribution received approximately 68 percent of all crop insurance premium subsidies.2) If farmers have this information, do they change independently? Or does #regenerativeagriculture need to find a new target for dispersing knowledge? 👀 Almost 80% of farmers believe climate change is occurring, with 43% reporting increases in use of no-till and 22% reporting an increase in use of cover crops. On the down side, 32% reported increased use of pesticides. (These are advisory led decisions). 3) Is the food & agriculture industry at-large concerned enough to change at scale? ⏰ Facts TBD.#climateaction #climatesmartagriculture #corn #biofuel #food #farmersfirst #farmersempowerment

Organic and conventional farming methods have been a topic of debate for many years. With the increasing demand for healthier and sustainable food options, it is important to analyze the global market trends for both types of farming. https://lnkd.in/etwZeyrH

❌ Myth 👉 Dairy and beef farming are completely unsustainable and should be phased out. 🌱 Reality 👉 Yes, large-scale farming that will ensure the world can continue to feed billions of people has an impact. But there are solutions to help mitigate this. Feed additives that reduce methane emissions are one of many options available to ensure beef and dairy farming can continue to co-exist alongside other sustainable methods of food production in the future. 🐮We’re not reinventing food or agriculture, but we’re eliminating the emissions.
