Agriculture is the sole provider of human food. Most farm ma chines are driven by fossil fuels\, which contribute to greenhouse gas emi ssions and\, in turn\, accelerate climate change. Such environmental damag e can be mitigated by the promotion of renewable resources such as solar\, wind\, biomass\, tidal\, geo-thermal\, small-scale hydro\, biofuels and w ave-generated power. These renewable resources have a huge potential for t he agriculture industry. The farmers should be encouraged by subsidies to use renewable energy technology. The concept of sustainable agriculture li es on a delicate balance of maximizing crop productivity and maintaining e conomic stability\, while minimizing the utilization of finite natural res ources and detrimental environmental impacts. Sustainable agriculture also depends on replenishing the soil while minimizing the use of non-renewabl e resources\, such as natural gas\, which is used in converting atmospheri c nitrogen into synthetic fertilizer\, and mineral ores\, e.g. phosphate o r fossil fuel used in diesel generators for water pumping for irrigation. Hence\, there is a need for promoting use of renewable energy systems for sustainable agriculture\, e.g. solar photovoltaic water pumps and electric ity\, greenhouse technologies\, solar dryers for post-harvest processing\, and solar hot water heaters. In remote agricultural lands\, the undergrou nd submersible solar photovoltaic water pump is economically viable and al so an environmentally-friendly option as compared with a diesel generator set. If there are adverse climatic conditions for the growth of particular plants in cold climatic zones then there is need for renewable energy tec hnology such as greenhouses for maintaining the optimum plant ambient temp erature conditions for the growth of plants and vegetables. The economics of using greenhouses for plants and vegetables\, and solar photovoltaic wa ter pumps for sustainable agriculture and the environment are presented in this seminar. Clean development provides industrialized countries with an incentive to invest in emission reduction projects in developing countrie s to achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions at the lowest cost. The mechanis m of clean development is discussed in brief for the use of renewable syst ems for sustainable agricultural development specific to solar photovoltai c water pumps in India and the world. This seminar decimates in detail the role of renewable energy in farming by connecting all aspects of agronomy with ecology\, the environment\, economics and societal change.
\nTh e Government of India is celebrating 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’\, an init iative to commemorate 75 years of progressive independent India and the gl orious history of its people\, culture and achievements. This Mahotsav is dedicated to the people of India who have been instrumental in bringing to India its evolutionary journey and those who envisioned a new India\, ene rgised by the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat. In order to celebrate our glor ious past\, during the conduct of the programme two presentations on the t hemes/sub-themes of 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav' is included.
