Sustainable Agriculture Programme

Sustainable Agriculture Programme dedicates itself towards creating innovative solutions and developing new opportunities for profitable farming and livelihoods while conserving natural resources. Our research focuses on sustainable agriculture, environment, and bioenergy by developing plant- and microbe-derived products to substantially improve crop yields, thereby reducing carbon footprint in agriculture. We extensively work on key areas aimed towards improving plant and soil health that include plant- and nano-biotechnology to develop green products like nano- and biofertilizers, superfoods, algal-based bioenergy, bioremediation, and resilient crop plants to biotic and abiotic constraints, besides enhancing their nutritional profile.
