The preservation and enhancement of India's agrobiodiversity are seen as vital for mitigating risks associated with climate change, geopolitical instability, and global supply chain disruptions. Diverse and locally adapted seed systems can help stabilize agricultural productivity and reduce vulnerability to external shocks. FSII warns that without a strong focus on biodiversity and innovation, farmers may face increased challenges from extreme weather events, pests, and resource scarcity. The organization also underscores the economic potential of India's seed industry, which could transform into a global hub with the right policy and research support.
