State Launches Innovative Sustainable Food Systems Platform in Collaborative Effort

September 4, 2023

In a significant stride towards bolstering sustainable agricultural practices and uplifting the livelihoods of natural farmers, the state of Himachal Pradesh is rolling out a Sustainable Food System Platform (SusPNF).
This collaborative endeavour brings together the expertise of Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry (UHF), Nauni, the State Agriculture Department, and Farmer Producer companies.
The SusPNF is set to become the first of its kind in the country.
It is a result of a Memorandum of Association between the University, the State Department of Agriculture’s Prakritik Krishi Khushal Yojana (PK3Y), and the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).
The primary goal of this collaboration is to empower natural farmers and drive advancements in the agricultural sector, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for local communities.
