Biotechnology Tools and Smart Agriculture Can Resolve Food and Fuel Needs Sustainably

INM: Role of Biotechnology

1. Need an estimated 4 to 5 million tons of bio-fertilizers to manage various nutrients in the soil.

2. Need AD processed organic manures.3. Need balanced use of NPK in the ratio of

4:2:1.4. Need to manage 500 MMT of organic crop

residue

IPM: Role of Biotechnology & New BioChemicals

1. Biotechnology based new chemistry for resurgent pests

2. Designer microbes for organic pest management (immunize the crops)

3. Newer varieties with resistant properties4. Molecular breeding for resistance

Criyagen Case Studies

SugarcaneFood and Energy Crop-Sugar & Jaggery-Juice ethanol in times of over production-Ethanol from Bagasse

Shri. Suragouda Patil from Sedabal produced 163 tons per acre sugarcane.

Paddy

• Paddy• Staple food crop• Brickets• Bio-methane

Shri. Chandrashekar K. V. from Attigeri village of Davanageri District of Karnataka harvested 65 bags of paddy per acre

Food & Fuel

We are producing enough food, we are going to import 80% of our petrochemical needs in coming decades.With biotechnology interventions,We can produce more food grains which could be extended to energy, say sugarcane juice ethanolCellulosic ethanol is answer to the impending problems of the fuel crisis
