Amanda Leland and Hisham Mundol from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) discuss innovative climate solutions and the importance of 'the messy middle approach' in India. This approach focuses on balancing environmental, livelihood, and health outcomes amidst climate challenges. Amanda emphasizes the need for 'the triple win', where solutions benefit the environment, livelihoods, and health simultaneously. In India, initiatives like fertiliser optimisation and enhancing dairy productivity are examples of achieving this triple win by saving costs, reducing emissions, and improving agricultural outcomes. Hisham highlights the need for affordable feeding recipes to enhance cattle productivity and innovative solutions like the 'field water tube' for efficient water management in rice paddy farming. They also address methane emissions in the dairy and agriculture sectors, proposing measures to safeguard livelihoods and the environment. Leveraging partnerships with dairy entrepreneurs and existing supply chains, such as milk collection centres, is crucial for implementing sustainable solutions and reducing methane emissions. The conversation underscores the significance of science, economics, and collaborative efforts in driving climate resilience and sustainable development in India's agriculture sector.
