Kharif crop sowing in India sees a turnaround as aggregate rainfall surpasses long-term average, raising hopes for relief in food item prices. India's Kharif Sowing Shows Resilience Kharif crop sowing in India is on the path to recovery as aggregate rainfall exceeds the long-term average. Recent data indicates a promising upturn in sowing activities, with overall levels rising by 1.2% over last year as of July 21. This positive development follows a week earlier, when sowing faced a 2% deficit. The improved sowing pace has sparked optimism for easing food price inflation.

                       Technology and soil growing together to enrich the world Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilization for millennia, providing food, fiber, and fuel to sustain our growing population. However, with the challenges posed by climate change and depleting fossil fuels, the time has come to explore alternative energy sources in agriculture for a sustainable future. One promising avenue is the integration of renewable energy into farming practices. Solar panels can be installed on vast stretches of farmland, harnessing the abundant sunlight to generate clean electricity. These panels not only power farm operations but also contribute surplus energy to the grid, reducing reliance on non-renewable sources. Additionally, wind turbines can be strategically positioned in open fields to harness wind energy, providing a consistent and eco-friendly power supply. Beyond electricity generation, bioenergy offers a remarkable solution by converting organic matter into us
