Sustainability
What is sustainability?

Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations.
Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment.

Sustainability is not just a word or a topic of discussion in international conferences to save the planet, but a daily routine to be inculcated in our lives.  It is suggested that a sustainable development is "a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs" - http://www.epa.gov/sustainability/basicinfo.htm

Why do we need it?

• - Agriculture is the backbone of humanity - animals, plants, fungi and other life forms for food, fiber,  and energy and other products used to sustain life
• - Limited amount of  land, water and energy.
• - Global population is expected to grow by 40% in the next few decades
• - Astronomical increment in food production needed to meet population growth
• This entails that every square meter of land be handled with utmost care in strict compliance with nature. 

We work closely with farmers in a sustained manner so as to produce more without abusing the land and conserving it for meeting the colossal demands of future, as we are expecting the world population to be over 9 billion by 2050! For example, wise use of water and herbicides can significantly conserve resources and prevent abuse of both the land and the crop.
