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

[@paranoah1925]

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]

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..

[@paranoah1925]

@@lingth In India farmers grow whatever the government gives a guarantee to buy or something they can export. The government should encourage growing millets

[@lingth]

@@paranoah1925 i wonder if they (the govt) will encourage it and promise to pay a fair price for it, when its grown.

[@paranoah1925]

@@lingth If we are to overcome the food insecurity that climate change is bound to cause through crop failures, we really need governments to push to diversify crops. Especially as monsoons become more and more erratic. We also need to reduce sugarcane which is so water intensive and growing rice in North India.

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.

[@HinaSunniva]

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.

[@debbiehenri345]

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.

[@virginia644]

@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.

[@IronMan-jj2fd]

@@virginia644 less population, less carbon emissions = reduces climate change

[@virginia644]

@@IronMan-jj2fd right, but there’s no solution for population size until an average human lifetime passes. Also, if we hadn’t focused so much on overpopulation in the 60s/70s and instead focused on cutting pollution and emissions instead, then theoretically we could have become our current size without emitting so much carbon. But fossil fuel industry didn’t listen back then and is still fighting the science now. It just seems to me that there is no feasible answer to overpopulation at this time but we actually can do something about carbon emissions

Hotter air & topsoil => more evaporation, more drought, and more wildfires. Hotter Arctic => less ice, less albedo, much less ice. That's the way it works. It is simple physics. The evidence is everywhere. Expect more of the same, only worse.

There are reporting a report of May and June month of north India, where heatwave can bake anyone's ass lol I m from punjab, i know garami of punjab 🤪, i used to live Mumbai meri Jann, i have sifted to punjab since past 9 years.. I know difference of garami and bund farr garami 😹

Farmers need to grow food based on temperature change now.

[@bm8292]

Every indian should take a pledge to plant at least 5-saplings before the rains touch the earth. Planting of trees can give some respite to the heat wave and invite the rain gods to the farmer's fields.

Very sad Mr goyal made 19 million dollars profit from the weat ,while the farmers mostly sikh farmer that supply the raw materials are committing suicide,very tragic I am a Pakistani punjabi,and I really feel for my punjabi brothren

[@ianwallett7438]

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.

[@jatinkumar7287]

In India, india has enough to feed it's people and even sell outside but the govt of India decide where to sell or where to not. And in the end whatever these guys gonna say, many people gonna see india doing good in term of food but for other countries, it's not the same.

[@mboyer68]

Are they really? Or is this more of the same things that happen over time? Here's a list of droughts going back to the 1800s. Did these happen due to human caused climate change? CO2? Or are droughts just a thing that happens? The study finds that: 18 meteorological and 16 hydrological droughts occurred in India in the time span of 1870 to 2018. The most severe meteorological droughts were in the years 1876, 1899, 1918, 1965 and 2000, while the five worst hydrological droughts occurred in the years 1876, 1899, 1918, 1965 and 2000.

[@michaelchiesa6142]

India's European province Englandistan has been experiencing record high temperatures 40c+... Here in Australia it's now winter, so temperatures are lower especially in the south, but flood's, droughts, bush fires, and cyclones, especially in the northern tropical regions, are something even the climate change denying vested interest lobbyist groups, have to reluctantly acknowledge... The temperate southern state Tasmania, could possibly have it's own great barrier reef, while the one in tropical Queensland is being bleached into oblivion by rising sea temperatures... After nearly ten years of climate denial by the former conservative federal government, it's now time for the new centrist Labor Government to act and clean up their predecessors mess...

[@rdelrosso2001]

I remember how, around 2012, former American Republican Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, said: "if you think CO2 is bad, ask a Plant!" The feeling on the part of a lot of Conservatives was that increased CO2 would help plants grow MORE. Alas, more CO2 really DOES make it hotter and Plants do not do well when its too hot!

[@mboyer68]

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!!! Droughts happen. They've been happening forever. But records only go back to the 1800s. This will pass. Just like they always do. The study finds that: 18 meteorological and 16 hydrological droughts occurred in India in the time span of 1870 to 2018. The most severe meteorological droughts were in the years 1876, 1899, 1918, 1965 and 2000, while the five worst hydrological droughts occurred in the years 1876, 1899, 1918, 1965 and 2000.

India farming is inefficient due to subsidies. The % of Indian GDP by farming is much lower than % of workforce in farming. However, because of famines in British India, govt must intervene to prevent famines.

[@shailendradeopa2089]

Wheat production was slightly less compared to earlier year but the situation is not as grim as shown in the program. Also food inflation is almost negligiable. Food prices like rice flour pulses etc have remained constant.

[@johnglavis2358]

India is not a poor nation. They should invest in water catchment areas in humid regions and pumping stations to relieve flooded regions and pump the excess water to arid regions to relieve their drought. The pumping stations could easily be powered by solar energy

India needs to massively expand rain water harvesting in the country to conserve water resources.

India need to massively decrease it's population

[@euroschmau]

Mass die offs of humans will be the norm in a decade's time. Food shortages, economic collapses and war will increase exponentially. We live during the apocalypse, only thing is, God isn't coming to save us. We did this to ourselves. We'll be lucky if the human species makes it another generation. I did my part though by remaining child-free, this world is not a place to bring more life into.

Then these Punjabis protest against farm laws....they are responsible for there sufferings

[@michaelkaiser4674]

WOW WOW

[@HK-eb3by]

The death of Punjab farmers is DEBT. These people have no patience. If planting a crop with no debt means they have to start smaller and wait longer then they should simply start smaller and wait longer. The next year grow a little more from previous year profits. A compounding effect will take place. Taking huge loans for the farm to household necessities and health issues as pointed out in the beginning story is a confidence game that can end very badly.
