Chouhan Promotes Integrated Farming for Sustainable Productivity
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan spoke about how farmers can make more money and be more sustainable.
He said farmers should do more than just grow crops.
They can also raise animals, grow fish, and other things.
This way, if bad weather hurts their crops, they still have other ways to make money.
The government is also working on creating new types of crops that can handle bad weather better.
The minister talked about this at a special event in Nashik, Maharashtra.
He also visited a famous temple there.
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan advocates for integrated farming to boost farmers' economic sustainability.
Integrated farming methods include poultry, animal husbandry, sericulture, fish farming, and horticulture.
Small landholders can also benefit from these complementary businesses.
The government is focusing on developing climate-resistant crop varieties.
Chouhan visited the Trimbakeshwar temple and offered prayers during his visit to Nashik.
