Madhya Pradesh sustainable agriculture program: Learning and planning workshop

The Sustainable Agriculture Initiative by the Food and Land Use Coalition India (FOLU India) aims to build evidence for the large-scale implementation of sustainable agriculture in India. As part of this initiative, FOLU India, along with WRI India, has joined hands with the Farmer Welfare and Agriculture Development Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh (FW&ADD, GoMP), to create an enabling ecosystem for integrating and implementing agricultural developmental schemes in selected districts of Madhya Pradesh and demonstrate how states can lead large-scale transitions.

The Learning and Planning Workshop, co-organized by the FW&ADD, GoMP, FOLU India, and WRI India under the Madhya Pradesh Sustainable Agriculture Program: Synergizing Policies and Actions, aimed to understand successful sustainable agriculture models across India and discuss their adaptation in Madhya Pradesh. The workshop saw presentations by 16 organizations, including civil society organizations (CSOs) and private sector entities, with attendance from approximately 140 government officials and team members from WRI India and FOLU India. This conference proceeding summarizes the discussions held during the three-day workshop on agri-value chain components, knowledge support, production landscape, technology innovation, financing models, governance, and water conservation.
