Food Security

BRICS nations are intensifying collaborative efforts to bolster global food security, as evidenced by the unanimous adoption of the Indore Declaration. The declaration establishes four new networks focused on agroecology, digital agriculture, farmer rights, and agricultural inputs, reflecting a commitment to sustainable and climate-resilient farming practices. India, representing 42% of global agricultural land and foodgrain production, is playing a central role, reinforcing its dedication to empowering small farmers through initiatives like fertilizer subsidies and natural farming programs. These developments signal a strengthened focus on agricultural cooperation and could mitigate potential supply chain vulnerabilities, benefiting both BRICS economies and global food markets.
