India’s strength lies in its unity in diversity, but our cultural and agricultural identities are shifting towards monoculture. The Green Revolution, while transformative, led to the decline of indigenous crops like millets, lentils, rice, and oilseeds, with some varieties disappearing entirely. Today, Indian agriculture faces climate change, land issues, and the need for sustainable practices. As farming evolves, we are losing cultural traditions and ancient wisdom tied to it.
In Pune and nearby regions, traditional rice varieties have vanished, leaving Indrayani as the only rice now cultivated and consumed.
