About this listen

 In this episode of BusinessLine’s Agrispective, host Subramani Ra Mancombu speaks with Professor. Rajeswari Raina, Shiv Nadar University, about the challenges and opportunities facing Indian agriculture under climate change. Prof. Raina explains how agriculture, a state subject under the Constitution, requires regionally differentiated policies that can anticipate and respond to climate shocks. She highlights the consequences of policy neglect—from stubble burning to farmer distress—and stresses the need for public investment to build resilience and sustainability. The episode also examines how policy gaps impact farmers on the ground and explores strategies for creating climate-resilient, locally adaptive agricultural systems. Tune in to understand how thoughtful, region-specific policies can safeguard India’s fields, farmers, and food future.
