Yara South Asia Calls for Climate-Resilient Farming Amid Delayed Monsoon and Rising Climate Uncertainty

The ongoing weather uncertainty has intensified discussions on the urgent need to strengthen climate resilience in Indian agriculture. Experts emphasize that improving farm-level preparedness through efficient water management, precision agriculture, balanced crop nutrition, and innovative crop management solutions will be essential to safeguarding food security in the years ahead.

Commenting on the evolving situation, Sanjiv Kanwar, Managing Director, Yara South Asia, said:

"The delayed and weak progress of this year’s southwest monsoon, driven in part by the intensifying El Niño, highlights the growing climate uncertainty facing Indian agriculture. With water shortages affecting this critical sowing period, it is becoming increasingly clear that safeguarding food security and farmer livelihoods will require a stronger focus on climate-resilient farming. Building resilience against these weather-related challenges calls for a shift towards precision agriculture and balanced crop nutrition. Solutions such as bio-stimulants are emerging as important tools to help crops better withstand heat and water stress while improving resource-use efficiency. At Yara, we remain committed to supporting farming communities through advanced crop nutrition solutions, digital tools, and farmer training programmes, helping build resilience and enabling farms to thrive in the face of changing climatic conditions."

As climate variability becomes increasingly frequent, the adoption of science-based agricultural practices and innovative crop nutrition technologies will play a critical role in enhancing farm productivity while enabling sustainable use of natural resources. Strengthening resilience today will be key to ensuring long-term food security and improving the livelihoods of millions of farmers across the country.

Yara South Asia continues to work closely with farmers by providing advanced crop nutrition solutions, precision farming technologies, digital advisory platforms, and capacity-building initiatives that empower farming communities to adapt successfully to changing climatic conditions.
