India has seen the years of extreme green revolution, that came to surface in agriculture in past few years. Various efforts are made, different approaches are adapted to boost the agriculture in many harmless ways. Huge researches are being conducted, and many developments happened that increased the productivity significantly, benefitting the entire nation. These initiatives included developing crop varieties that give higher yields, bringing in the modern equipment to be used in agriculture and adopting innovative methods of farming. Agriculture is the backbone of a nation like India, and we need to sustain it. Which calls for a few steps away from green revolution, science needs to step it.

Yes, sustainable agriculture is the need of the hour, for it feeds the nation and elevates the economy. In this crusade of developing sustainable agriculture, fertilizer manufacturing companies are the front-foot holders with their magical products on the shelf. HPM India is the prominent flag bearer when it comes to paving a path for sustainable agriculture. Their expertise in introducing various fertilizers, herbicides, germicides and fungicides is the tool that helps to take agriculture and farming to unprecedented levels.

It was these innovations that enabled more food security in the developed India than previously possible. With these products, wastage and rotting of crops is controlled to a large extent and far better yields are achieved from relatively small areas of farming land, making food easy to come by in our developed nation, making it easy for foreign trade as well

One more aspect of sustainable agriculture that cannot be ignored is that the need for it was broadened from economic and food sustainability to environmental and social sustainability. While the level of investment in agricultural research and development has been substantially reduced since the green revolution, the knowledge within the sector has greatly increased and agricultural businesses have adjusted their practices to deliver agriculture sustainability. HPM has a big hand in this practice. The literacy drives conducted by HPM, the trainings imparted to the farmers and agriculturists are a major breakthrough and are helping in a major way.

We have to agree that agriculture land is not as plentiful as it was earlier and to ensure the sustainability of the industries and importantly the global food supply, sustainable agriculture practices have to be at the forefront. In India research and development initiatives like HPM India, that represent farmers, invest in research and development to improve the sustainable agricultural practices. Often this is jointly funded with government.

Today, sustainable agriculture is not just a buzz phrase, but rather, it is a serious business. With limited arable land, limited water and increasing climatic variability, it is becoming even more important to put in more and more and get the best yields of small resources.

Without an increase in investment in research and development the advances of the green revolution might not be enough to ensure that people continue to enjoy agricultural security. We need alternative methods and increased productions without owing much to waste.
