The anticipated El Niño event poses significant risks to Indian agriculture, which is heavily dependent on monsoon rains. Prolonged dry spells and higher temperatures could lead to reduced crop yields, affecting millions of farmers and potentially causing food shortages. The degradation of soil and biodiversity further weakens the sector's ability to withstand climatic shocks, putting rural livelihoods and food security at risk. Without immediate action to regenerate agricultural ecosystems, the country could face long-term challenges in sustaining its agricultural productivity.
