These landmark agreements, aimed at strengthening ‘Mission 2047: Make India Organic, Natural & Profitable (MIONP),’ are set to accelerate the adoption of organic and natural farming practices in India through collaborative efforts in policy advocacy, global knowledge sharing, and industry-wide engagement, and the global movement toward sustainable farming practices.
The MoUs were signed by M.C. Dominic, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Krishi Jagran and Agriculture World; Shiny Dominic, Director of MAC Krishi Jagran Foundation; Sandeepa Kanitkar, Chairperson of BASAI; Dr. K.R.K. Reddy, President Emeritus of BIPA; Dr. John Peter, President of BIPA; Dr. Venkatesh Devanur, Secretary of BIPA; and Roger Tripathi, Founder & CEO of Global BioAg Linkages.
These collaborations represent a major stride forward in unifying domestic and international stakeholders to build a resilient and eco-friendly agricultural ecosystem. They aim to facilitate innovation, elevate organic farming standards, and empower farmers with sustainable, profitable practices.
Partnership with BASAI
On the occasion, Krishi Jagran and MAC Krishi Jagran Foundation formalized a strategic partnership with BASAI by signing an MoU to accelerate the national movement for organic and natural farming. Through this alliance, BASAI will actively support MIONP by mobilizing its network, advising on quality standards, co-organizing events, and contributing to key initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture.
Krishi Jagran will leverage its extensive media network across print, digital, and social media to amplify BASAI’s innovations and initiatives. This partnership solidifies the collective commitment to transforming Indian agriculture into a globally respected model of sustainability and profitability.
Sharing her enthusiasm at the signing of the MoU, Sandeepa Kanitkar said,
"This MoU will accelerate the MIONP initiative by strengthening the scientific foundation of natural and organic farming. It aims to support organic farmers by improving their practices and providing access to new technologies. It will also help other farmers enhance their profitability through the adoption of organic and natural farming methods."
Partnership with BIPA
Krishi Jagran, MAC Krishi Jagran Foundation, and the BioAgri Input Producers Association (BIPA) entered into a strategic alliance to further MIONP’s objectives. Under this MoU, BIPA will play a core role in the MIONP Industry & Allied Partners Collective, driving industry participation, shaping strategic policies, and supporting standards development for organic agriculture.
Together, the organizations will co-create white papers, research-based recommendations, case studies, and organize high-impact events and awareness campaigns. Krishi Jagran will ensure extensive outreach and engagement across India to promote these initiatives.
Expressing their views on the collaboration, Dr. John Peter stated,
"We are happy to be associated with Krishi Jagran today to promote biological agriculture in the country. Through this partnership, we are pleased that our company will be part of an important initiative. The basic idea is to collaborate with Krishi Jagran and ICAR so that any developments related to biologicals will be evaluated by ICAR. This will help us understand how we can effectively reduce chemical inputs in Indian agriculture by introducing new biological solutions. We are truly glad to be associated with both Krishi Jagran and ICAR, and we look forward to making a meaningful contribution to the farming community."
Further emphasizing the importance of the collaboration, Dr. K.R.K. Reddy added,
"Improving soil health has become increasingly important to feed the growing global population. Krishi Jagran has taken up a flagship initiative called MIONP, and we are pleased to be associated with it. Through this MoU, we aim to explore ways to strengthen our collaboration with MIONP."
Global Vision: Krishi Jagran and Global BioAg Linkages (GBL) Team Up
To extend MIONP’s reach globally, Krishi Jagran also signed an MoU with Global BioAg Linkages (GBL). This collaboration aims to foster international synergies in organic and natural farming, promoting flagship initiatives such as Millionaire Farmer of India (MFOI), Make Globe Organic, Natural, and Profitable (MGONP), and IMAPS.
Global BioAg Linkages will actively promote Krishi Jagran’s initiatives through its vast international network and support in organizing global events, while Krishi Jagran will amplify GBL’s visibility across India through targeted media and community engagement.
Sharing his excitement post-signing, Roger Tripathi said,
"For me, this MoU is a very important framework. I want to ensure that it leads to real, meaningful actions. Dominic and I have the potential to be more than just a team - together, we can be one plus one equals eleven, not just two. That’s why we’ve signed this MoU. We want to take everything Dominic is doing in India to a global platform, while also bringing valuable global insights and innovations back to India for Dominic to evaluate and adapt for the benefit of Indian farmers at the grassroots level.”
