USAID/INDIA FOOD SECURITY PROGRAMS
External links to other Internet sites should not be construed as an endorsement of the views contained therein
India is one of the world’s largest agricultural producers of staple crops, fruits, horticulture, and dairy. Many of India’s agricultural successes emerged from its ability to develop and apply innovative, cost-effective solutions to farming challenges, such as low-cost tractors, seed systems, and water management technologies. USAID/India’s food and nutritional security and adaptation programs focus on sharing and transferring these innovations globally, in partnership with the Government of India, civil society organizations, and the private sector, to improve food security locally, regionally, and globally.
