India's agriculture sector, despite its reduced contribution to the GDP, remains a vital part of the nation's socio-economic fabric, employing a significant portion of the population. The sector faces the dual challenge of facilitating the transition of surplus labour to other industries while also enhancing job quality within its own domain. Opportunities for growth and improvement lie in the adoption of sustainable food systems, which promise a more resilient future. The rapid urbanisation and the burgeoning middle class present unique chances to rejuvenate the food economy, addressing issues such as low crop productivity and insufficient private investment. Innovations in value addition and agri-business models can stimulate job creation, particularly in downstream activities. Moreover, 'greening' agricultural practices not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also opens up employment prospects for women and youth, fostering inclusive growth and development. The session will delve into job creation opportunities, private sector participation and greening aspects of agriculture, livestock and fisheries.
