- The Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) has released a report on “sustainable food systems” recently.
- In 2018, about 11 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions came from agriculture, livestock, and pesticide use.
- India’s rain-fed rice yields may decline by 20 per cent by 2050 and by 47 per cent by 2080 without adaptation measures.
- Irrigated rice yields may drop by 3.5 per cent by 2050 and by 5 per cent by 2080 under the same conditions.
- About 90 per cent of India’s 573 rural districts face climate risks, including pest outbreaks, disease, and erratic monsoons, causing water stress.
- The CSE report recommends low-input agriculture, multiple-option cropping, nutrition-rich and climate-resilient crops, and aligning food production with consumer choices.
- The second report named “Missing from the Plate: Edible Plants in Wetlands Lose Favour” was also released.
- It documents edible wetland plants and their potential contribution to food security and climate resilience.
