National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA)
National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) is one of the eight Missions within the National Action Plan on Climate Change(NAPCC). It focuses on integrated farming, water usage efficiency, soil health management, and resource synergy to increase agricultural production, particularly in rainfed areas. Therefore, it seeks to increase agriculture’s productivity, sustainability, income, and resiliency to climate change. It strives to increase agriculture’s output, sustainability, and climate resilience. To meet the desired goals of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), this mission seeks to completely reform agricultural methods also.
National Mission For Sustainable Agriculture
Indian agriculture, which provides food to the nation covers around 51% of the net sown area of the country and is primarily rainfed. To fulfill the country’s rising demand for foodgrain, rainfed agriculture must be developed along with resource conservation, climate change, and sustainability. A stable climate and high-quality natural resources are both necessary for maintaining agricultural productivity. Given these parameters, the Government of India launched National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) in 2014-15.
