India is home to 18% of the global population but has only 4% of freshwater resources (National Water Mission, GoI). With dwindling water resources, India is categorized as ‘water insecure’ (Global Water Security 2023 Assessment) and an ‘extremely high-water stress’ country (WRI Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas).
Global agriculture is heavily dependent on fossil fuel resources – directly for crop production and indirectly to produce fertilizers, pesticides, and machinery for crop production, processing, transportation, storage, etc. It is estimated that 30% of global energy is consumed within agri-food systems.

Specialty Fertilizer: A Contribution towards Mitigation of Climate Change Effects in Soil
March 30, 2026
Climate change has been found to have a cyclic effect on soil health which means activities such as excessive tillage, practicing monoculture with staple crops like rice & wheat, high fertilizer and pesticide use, and cattle overgrazing has led the soil’s stable carbon to convert into carbon dioxide.
The nature has provided biological nitrogen fixation mechanism wherein microbes convert atmospheric N2 into NH3, that can be metabolized by most organisms including plants. The inorganic nitrogen compounds are used for biosynthesis of amino acids and proteins, nucleoside triphosphates and nucleic acids, that are essential to life on earth. On the other hand, industrial production of...
