25th anniversary of M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation
President Pranab Mukherjee and agriculture scientist M.S. Swaminathan at the 25th anniversary of M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation in Chennai.
President Pranab Mukherjee Wednesday said the right to food, believed to be the largest social security
measure against hunger, can be sustained only if the nation pays
attention to farmers and farming to enable more production without
causing ecological harm.
The rights-based approach to food "can be sustained only if we pay greater attention to farmers and farming".
"The National Commission on Farmers, chaired by Prof M.S. Swaminathan, has given valuable recommendations for converting the Green Revolution into an Ever-Green Revolution, resulting in higher productivity in perpetuity without associated ecological harm," he said.
Mukherjee was here to participate in the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the M.S.Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) founded by the noted agricultural scientist.
"Henceforth, availability of food at an affordable cost will be a legal right to over two thirds of our population. Every Indian can be proud of this transition from the days of the Bengal Famine of 1943 in which over 3 million people died to the implementation of the Right to Food with our own home-grown food," he said.
Stressing the fact that land is a shrinking resource for agriculture, Mukherjee said the only option is to produce more from less land and with less irrigation water. - See more at: http://news.indiaonline.in/Pay-attention-to-farmers-to-sustain-food-security-promise-Mukherjee-50025#sthash.xXJvQE1d.dpuf
