Introduction:

NMSA is one of the eight missions outlined under National Action Plan for climate change (NAPCC).

Formulated to enhance Agricultural Productivity especially in Rainfed areas(RA's).

As RA's cover 60% of Net sown area and accounts only for 40% of total food production.

RA's hold the key to Burgeoning demand of food grains in the country.

National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Introduction
NMSA
and
architecture has been designed by converging, consolidating
subsuming
all
ongoing
as
well
as
newly
proposed
activities/programmes related to sustainable agriculture with a special
emphasis on soil & water conservation, water use efficiency, soil health
management and rainfed area development.
 The
focus of NMSA will be to infuse the judicious utilization of
resources of commons through community based approach.
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Introduction
NMSA
aims at promoting location specific improved agronomic practices
through soil health management, enhanced water use efficiency, judicious use
of chemicals, crop diversification, progressive adoption of crop-livestock
farming systems and integrated approaches like crop-sericulture, agroforestry, fish farming, etc.
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Introduction
National
Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) has been formulated
for enhancing agricultural productivity especially in rainfed areas
focusing on integrated farming, water use efficiency, soil health
management and synergizing resource conservation.
Sustaining
agricultural productivity depends on quality and availability of
natural resources like soil and water.
NMSA
derives its mandate from Sustainable Agriculture Mission which is
one of the eight Missions outlined under National Action Plan on Climate
Change (NAPCC).
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Mission Objectives
To
make agriculture more productive, sustainable, remunerative and
climate resilient by promoting location specific Integrated/Composite
Farming Systems;
To
conserve natural resources through appropriate soil and moisture
conservation measures;
To
adopt comprehensive soil health management practices based on soil
fertility maps, soil test based application of macro & micro
nutrients, judicious use of fertilizers etc.;
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Mission Objectives
To
optimize utilization of water resources through efficient water
management to expand coverage for achieving ‘more crop per drop’;
To develop capacity of farmers & stakeholders, in conjunction with
other ongoing Missions e.g. National Mission on Agriculture Extension &
Technology, National Food Security Mission, National Initiative for Climate
Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) etc., in the domain of climate change
adaptation and mitigation measures;

Mission for Agricultural Extension & Technology (NMAE&T) etc. A
consortium approach may be evolved with various stake holders including
knowledge partners like State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), Krishi Vigyan Kendras
(KVKs), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Centres, professional
organisations etc. by the State Government to provide single window service/
knowledge provider system for the benefit of farming community.

Strong
technical monitoring and feedback systems on climate change
mitigation and adaptation issues to the National Advisory council for regular
updates on technical feasibility of various components and their effectiveness in
bringing about the climate resilience. The experts of central institutes and state
agricultural universities would be part of such technical monitoring/feedback.
The capacity building of the implementing agencies would be steered by
MANAGE.

Mission Strategies
Establishing
platform
to
liaison,
review
and
coordinate
implementation of interventions outlined in Mission Document of
NMSA under aegis of National Action Plan on Climate Change.
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Mission Interventions: NMSA has following four (4) major programme components or activities
1.
Rainfed Area Development (RAD):

RAD will adopt an area based approach for development and conservation of natural resources along with farming systems.

This component has been formulated in a ‘watershed plus framework’, i.e. ,to explore potential utilization of natural resources base/assets available/created through watershed development and soil conservation activities /interventions under MGNREGS, NWDPRA, RVP&FPR, RKVY, IWMP etc.

This component will introduce appropriate farming systems by integrating multiple components of agriculture such as crops, horticulture, livestock, fishery, forestry with agro based income generating activities and value addition. Besides, soil test/soil health card based nutrient management
practices,
farmland
development,
resource
conservation
and
crop
selection
conducive
to
local
agro
climatic
condition will also be promoted under this component.
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Mission Interventions: NMSA has following four (4) major programme components or activities
1.
Rainfed Area Development (RAD):

This component will be admissible for gap-filling resource conservation activities under converging programmes.

RAD clusters should have soil analysis/soil health card/soil survey maps to justify the interventions proposed and at least 25% of the farming system area will have to be covered under On Farm Water Management.

Besides, creation and development of common property resources/assets/utilities like grain bank, biomass shredders, fodder bank, group marketing etc. will be encouraged under this component.
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Mission Interventions: NMSA has following four (4) major programme components or activities
2. On Farm Water Management (OFWM):

OFWM will focus primarily on enhancing water use efficiency by promoting efficient on-farm water management technologies and equipment.

This will not only focus on application efficiency but, in conjunction with RAD component, also will emphasize on effective harvesting & management of rainwater.
Emphasis
will also be given to manage and equitably distribute the resources of commons by involving the water users associations, etc..
National Mission for Sustainable
Agriculture
Mission Interventions: NMSA has following four (4) major programme components or activities
2. Soil Health Management (SHM):

SHM will aim at promoting location as well as crop specific sustainable soil health management including residue management, organic farming practices by way of creating and linking soil fertility maps with macro-micro nutrient management, appropriate land use based on land capability, judicious application of
fertilizers and minimizing the soil erosion/degradation.
Besides,
this component will also provide support to reclamation of problem soils (acid/alkaline/saline). This component will be implemented by State Govt., National Centre of Organic Farming (NCOF), Central Fertilizer Quality Control & Training Institute (CFQC&TI) and Soil and Land Use Survey of India (SLUSI).

research/model projects in the domain of climate smart sustainable management practices and integrated farming system suitable to local agro-climatic conditions.

The dedicated expert teams of technical personnel will be institutionalized within NMSA to rigorously monitor and evaluate the mission activities thrice in a year and will inform the National Committee. Comprehensive pilot blocks will be supported to illustrate functional mechanism for
dissemination of rainfed technologies, planning, convergence and coordination with flagship schemes/Missions like MGNREGS, IWMP, Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP), RKVY, NFSM, NHM, NMAET etc.

2. Climate Change and Sustainable Agriculture: Monitoring Modeling and Networking (CCSAMMN):

Such an integrated action of input and output flows across agriculture, livestock and other production systems will harness the growth potential of the rainfed production systems, imparting sustainability of local production systems while negotiating climate change risks.

A consortium approach will be evolved with various stake holders including knowledge partners like State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Institutes etc. by the State Government to provide single window
service/knowledge provider system for the benefit of farming community.

Climate change related monitoring, feedback, knowledge networking and skill development will also be supported under this component through State Agricultural Universities, ICAR Institutes National/International Institutes, KVKs, Public/Private R&D Organizations etc.

Awarding of Studies, Documentation & Publication, Domestic and Foreign Training, Workshops/Conferences etc. will be supported under this component.
