This week, the Sustainable Food Systems team at CSE wrapped up a successful training and workshop on 'Sustainable Food Systems: An Agenda for Climate-Risked Times' at our residential campus, Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute. Curated for civil society organsisations, the programme brought together 25 participants from nearly 10 states, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Chhattisgarh. Led by domain experts, the discussions focused on: - Soil health and carbon credit - Agro-ecological practices for mitigation, adaptation and resilience - Adaptation through weather-crop information - Resilience through insurance to cover risks and losses - Livestock, agriculture emissions and mitigation For more information, visit: cseindia.org/sustainable-foo…

Union Budget’s emphasis on strengthening veterinary capacity in livestock has potential to curb antibiotic misuse and AMR, if done right, writes @rajeshwari_s14 of @AMR_CSE downtoearth.org.in/health/un…

The Sustainable Food Systems team at CSE wrapped up a successful ‘Training cum workshop on scaling up preventive approaches in the Indian freshwater fisheries sector to reduce disease and minimise antibiotic use’ last week from January 20-22, 2026. The workshop was attended by about 25 trainees, comprising of nominated state fisheries department officials from KVKs and seven fish producing states in north and eastern part of India ─Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab. The discussions focused on freshwater aquaculture, and different preventive approaches (e.g., feed and alternatives, farm management and biosecurity, vaccination, rearing systems, breeds and seeds) which could help reduce the occurrence of diseases and the need for antibiotics in freshwater aquaculture. The sessions included a mix of lectures, class exercises, panel discussions, case studies from resource persons represented by the scientific community (@icarcifa, @icar_cife, key fisheries universities), government (NFDB), progressive farmers and sustainable fish producers from key fish producing states such as Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, Karnataka as well as Assam.
