Fertilizing the future: Transitioning to Biofertilizers for Climate- Resilient Agriculture

Abstract This report examines the potential of biofertilizers as sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers in India, focusing on their role in promoting climate-resilient agriculture. Historically, chemical fertilizers have driven growth in India's agricultural sector, particularly following the Green Revolution. However, their extensive use has led to environmental degradation, soil fertility loss, and health risks due to chemical buildup in soil and water. Recognizing these issues, the Government of India has initiated policies like the PM-PRANAM Yojana, aiming to boost the use of biofertilizers, reduce dependency on chemical imports, and alleviate subsidy burdens.
Biofertilizers, composed of beneficial microorganisms, offer a sustainable solution by improving soil nutrient content and crop yields without harmful side effects. This report applies regression analysis to project future crop yields, revealing that biofertilizers could surpass chemical fertilizers in effectiveness and adoption by 2064, aligning with India’s goals for agricultural sustainability. Ultimately, this study advocates for the increased adoption of biofertilizers to secure long-term food production, enhance soil health, and support India's transition toward sustainable agricultural practices.
