A Pathway to Doubling Farmers Income

The report arrives at a pivotal moment for India, as the country advances toward its ambition of becoming a developed economy by 2047 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. In this journey, agriculture remains key to ensuring stable, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable growth.

This study is an important step in response to some of the valid questions . We analyse the current scenario of Indian agriculture in terms of paddy and millet cultivation to arrive at a sustainable solution that benefits both the economy and the environment. We recommend providing up-front cash incentives in the form of a soil rejuvenation allowance to discourage paddy cultivation. In addition to these cash incentives, we explore the potential for increasing millet production by increasing its minimum support price.
