Excellence is Ladies and Gentlemen. Namaskar! I welcome you all to India. Agriculture is at the heart of human civilization. And so, as agriculture ministers, your task is not simply that of handling one sector of the economy. You shoulder a big responsibility for the future of humanity. So, globally, agriculture provides livelihood for over 2.5 billion people. In the global south, agriculture accounts for almost 30 percent of GDP and over 60 percent of jobs. And today, this sector faces several challenges. The supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic have been versioned by the impact of geopultic tensions. The climate change is causing extreme weather events, more and more frequently. These challenges are felt most by the global south. Friends, I want to share with you what India is doing in this most vital sector. For policy is a fusion of back to basics and march to future. We are promoting natural farming as well as technology-enabled farming. Farmers all over India are taking up natural farming now. They are not using synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Their focus is on rejuvenating the mother earth, protecting soil health, producing per drop, mark off and promoting organic fertilizers and pest management solutions. At the same time, our farmers are proactively using technology to boost productivity. They are generating and using solar power on their farms. They are using soil health cars to optimize crop selection and drones to spray nutrients and monitor their crops. I believe this fusion approach is the best way to address several issues in agriculture. Friends, as you know, the year 2023 is being celebrated at the international year of millets. You will find a reflection of this on your plates in Hyderabad with many disease based on millets or sree as we call it in India. These superfoods are not only healthy to consume but they also help raise the income of our farmers by using less water, needing less fertilizer and being more pest resistant. Of course, millets are not new. They have been cultivated for thousands of years but markets and marketing had influenced our choices so much that we forgot the value of traditionally grown food crops. Because of this, we have three unmillets at the full of our choice. A part of our own commitment, India is developing and institute of millets research as a center of excellence for sharing based practices, research and technology in millets. Friends, I urge you to deliberate on how to undertake collective action to achieve global food security. We must find ways to build sustainable and inclusive food systems focused on marginal farmers. We must find ways to strengthen global fertilizer supply chains. At the same time, adopt agricultural practices for better soil health, crop health and yield. Traditional practices from different parts of the world may inspire us to develop alternative for regenerative agriculture. We need to empower our farmers with innovation and digital technology. We must also make solutions affordable for small and marginal farmers in the global south. There is also an urgent need to reduce agriculture and food waste and institute invest in creating wealth from waste. Friends, India G20 priorities in agriculture focus on healing our one earth, creating harmony within our one family and giving hope for a bright one future. I am happy to learn that we are working on two concrete outcomes. The Daikon high level principles of food security, and nutrition and the Mursi initiative for millets and other grains. The support to these two initiatives is a statement in support for inclusive, sustainable and resilient agriculture. I wish you all success in your deliberations. Thank you.
