With the rising climate threats, population growth, and health risks, embracing organic farming has become vital. Realizing this, Krishi Jagran, in collaboration with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) as a knowledge partner, is organizing 'Mission 2047: MIONP,' a two-day international conference & workshop scheduled for March 20-21, 2025, at the NASC Complex, ICAR, New Delhi.
The event will bring together researchers, stakeholders, farmers, and professionals from various fields, all working together to tackle the three core challenges of the MIONP Movement. With the slogan ‘Bharat ka Jaivik Jagran,’ the event aims to accelerate India’s progress toward becoming a global leader in organic and natural farming.
'Mission 2047: MIONP' will focus on eight transformative areas essential to advancing organic farming in India. These include restoring soil fertility, improving manure efficiency, promoting precision farming, and enhancing the quality of organic seeds and produce testing systems. By embracing organic farming, the initiative seeks to empower Indian farmers with economic independence while fostering a healthier, more sustainable food system. With these efforts, India aims to become a global powerhouse in sustainable agriculture by 2047.

Why MIONP Matters
By 2047—when India celebrates 100 years of independence—the MIONP movement aspires to see the country emerge as a global powerhouse of organic agriculture, where sustainability and profitability go hand-in-hand. For farmers, this could mean increased incomes, better soil health, reduced input costs, and improved quality of life. For consumers, it promises access to safer, chemical-free food. And for the environment, it represents a commitment to reversing degradation and building climate resilience.
