India’s Extreme Summer: Will 45°C Heatwaves Leave Us Out Of Wheat? | Insight

  • India experienced an unprecedented heatwave this year. As temperatures regularly soared past 45°C in the northern parts of India, the country’s wheat producing regions, crops wilted in the fields.
    Indian farmers saw their yields plummet, leading to debt and ruin. At the same time prices of wheat and related products skyrocketed, and ordinary consumer bore the brunt of rising inflation. Food security is at risk.
    India eventually moved to ban wheat exports, but there are concerns that the heat wave is not an anomaly, but an increasingly regular occurrence caused by climate change.
    Can Indian farmers weather this crisis, and is this a sign of things to come?

    India needs to increase its production and consumption of the traditional millets. They are not just highly nutritious but also more drought resistant than wheat

    • @lingth
      @lingth Před rokem +22

      the problem is cost per ton, wheat gives more profit, and a lot of the farmers are not growing the crops to feed their bellies but rather to pay their debts.. they took loans to start planting, if the harvested crop is sold for less, then it wont cover their loans or after paying the loan, they wont have much left.. unless the dealers pay the same for millet as with Wheat..

    Given that climate stresses can be expected to increase and because farmers are important to India and the world, the Indian government needs to be more supportive of farmers in times of bad harvest. We cannot afford to loose farmers to suicide. The government can also work more closely with farmers to provide guidance as to which crops to plant, how best to prepare their lands, etc.

    Look at those wheat fields they are so baron, hardly any trees., I have visited farms where wheat is grown in between fruit and shade trees. The land to sow wheat is low, but yields are very good. Lot of farmers complain that planting trees in wheat fields attract birds. But fraction of crop eaten by birds is still better than getting into situation like this.
    Besides, trees provide shade and humidity and also keep soil erosion and high water content. Also secondary income for farmers from fruits.
    In India , most farmers just treat farming like business. Lot of wells are over drawn and running dry with water wastage. What you sow is what you reap. Sad for the family, but this could have been avoided.

      I agree. I am planting fruit trees and fruit bushes on my little piece of land here in UK, especially now as food prices rise.
      Yes, the more fruit plants there are, the more they attract birds - However! Birds can be very territorial, and you can use that to your advantage, letting the larger birds work hard to stop too many others from stealing what ripens in their individual territories. Here, in the UK, Blackbirds are probably the most aggressive species and spend more time chasing off other birds than eating.
      So, I have had a much better fruit harvest this year than in previous years, and I believe it is thanks to the aggressive Blackbirds. In fact, because I planted lots of berry-bearing trees in the past that Blackbirds prefer, they eat those first and still chase other birds off the fruits I prefer, simply because they are planted in their territories.
      One other thing - 'Diversity is king!'
      When I had just a few different types of the commonest fruits here, just the sorts of plants that you would find in many British gardens, harvest would be badly hit whenever the weather was different from normal.
      So, when the pandemic began, I added as many different types of hardy fruit plants that I thought would just about survive in my climate. My range increased from about a dozen different species of fruit plant to more than 40.
      This means that if the climate continues to stay hotter than normal, more tropical fruits will do better than the common native types. If the weather turns wetter and cooler again, the native ones do better and the tropical ones won't fruit so well. Either way, something is going to do well.

      @Madman Curie well I remember reading an article about it around 2018 and on YT there was a video from a different media source last year basically saying the same thing. The gist was that everyone on the planet standing up could fit comfortably within the borders of Los Angeles, so there’s space enough for all of us. More people meant there were more people to provide for others like farm enough food for them etc. They said we have plenty of resources to sustain the population we would naturally reach in 2100 because innovation has always solved the problems that the overpopulation myth has espoused since the early 1900s.The only issue now is that we are putting carbon into the air that has been sequestered for millions of years - if we could change to renewables and less polluting energy sources then there isn’t an issue with our current population size or the size we’re projected to get to in 2100 by which they predict access to more healthcare will cause fewer countries having large family sizes. I just Googled to find the sources I had learned from but there’s honestly too many articles, looks like Vice, CNN, PBS, Vox and Insider have all done extensive reporting on it so feel free look into it.

    We farm the soil so poorly, we don’t condition it enough to be able to keep supplying food in harsh conditions. I’ve been working for twelve years on a crop that can be planted on farms and will keep coming back for over twenty years, the percentage of land used for the crop is for the farmer to decide but would be around 10% to be able to sell it as an energy crop after enhancing their own soil. The crop is deep rooted so uses nutrients and moisture that annual crops can’t reach. This crop would be grown and harvested to be milled down and added to the farms fields to enhance its soil moisture retention and also to feed the soil. After adding the crop to the ground to improve fertility and moisture the following year the crop could be sold as carbon neutral bio fuel for energy production, the crop would only need adding to the fields once every three years. It would also provide habitation for wildlife whilst growing.
