Sustainable Agriculture and Livestock production for Food Security

Farmer’s joint family (at least 2 generations) Agriculture and Livestock- The inseparable components of the Rural Agricultural Household Livestock wealthFarm land Grains and cash crops Major means of sustenance Crop residues Milk, Meat, Eggs, fuel, and Draught power Supplements income and nutritional needs Optimum resource utilization and value creation manure

Integrated Sustainable Growth Need of the hour Sustainable Development 2% land & 4% water 18% population of world Agri production? Population on Inc Largest Milk producer 1% of world forest

5 In India, Food demand likely to nearly double from ~440 in 2007 to ~850 million metric tons in 2020 Estimation of food demand Million metric tonnes 1.5x 2.6x 1.8x 2.8x Meat/Fish/eggs Milk Vegetable & Fruits Demand Situation The world has to double food production by 2030 Increasing income levels and educational levels raising demand for better food The current high prices are an indicator Meat consumption expected to increase rapidly (1 unit needs 5 units of crop output) Choice to increase production of food, fibre and feed to meet demand? Bring more land under cultivation Reduce wastages – Storage & transportation Develop & deliver suitable improved agronomic practices Improve per unit of resources i.e. land & Water Integrate livestock & Agriculture Cereals SOURCE: Working paper no. 209; ICRIER; NSSO; interviews

Technologies : Livestock Sexed Semen The productivity of milch animal is only about 1500 kg per lactation as against the world average of 2300 kg. Balanced feeding and Hydroponics The reproduction efficiency would help in calf a year programme. TMR feed blocks Total mixed rations would improve milk production Processing of food and designer milk Value addition is being created for milk etc 10/8/ Animal Health for Higher Production Effeciency

Ayurvet Hydroponics feed Grown in a soil less medium and controlled environment A novel initiative for green feed Referred to as feed because of its higher protein content when compared to conventional fodder

Technologies : Poultry Cholesterol Free egg The consumption would go up further Feeding for special quality chicken meat The economic gains are higher Improvement in FCR Brings in better returns to farmers in less time Processing of food Value addition is being created for meat etc 10/8/ Animal Health for Higher Production Effeciency

HEALTH DISEASE Health index? The natural way to produce safe food

Technologies: Agriculture New Varieties and Hybrids  Low seed replacement rates in Food crops like Wheat, Jowar, Oilseeds and Pulses etc Integrated Nutrition Management  Optimum fertilizer application and soil fertility management Integrated Pest Management  Pest resistant varieties, Judicious application and residue elimination Extension education & training Evolving new media and farmers awareness for delivering customized advisories Farm Mechanization  Covering entire gamut of sowing till harvest and post harvest activities for all crops

Relinking the inter-related issues.. Food Safety Unemployment Global Warming Fuel Security Water reserves Soil Fertility Residues Malnutrition Pollution..For sustainable development Health & Wellness

Total Resource Management Optimum utilization of resources Improve animal and soil health and food situation

Benchmarks to be set  Assessment to be made on present and past (5years back) production levels to decide future targets  Identification of lacunae in our system that have to be removed to tap the huge Export Opportunities that exist for Animal food products  Identification of key changes that have led to improved production and areas that offer potential for drastic improvements in production efficiency 10/8/ Animal Health for Higher Production Effeciency
