India&#8217;s agriculture sector is pivotal in ensuring the nation&#8217;s food security and economic growth. However, environmental perturbations are altering optimal crop-growing regions, creating uncertainty in agricultural outcomes. As global population growth increases demand for food, feed, fiber, and feedstock under challenging climate conditions, agriculture exerts an outsized impact on land-use change, biodiversity loss, agrochemical overuse, water depletion, and greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing these challenges requires advanced biotechnology and concerted action in minimizing environmental footprint of Agriculture, developing bio-based alternatives to chemical agri-inputs, securing high yield with minimal inputs &amp; transforming agricultural fields into carbon sinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, DBT and BIRAC, intend to foster an innovative ecosystem for enabling development and deployment of sustainable &amp; scalable, industry ready technologies to revamp the agricultural value chain from farm to fork to landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In view of this, DBT and BIRAC invite proposals on \u201c<strong><em>High Performance Biomanufacturing for Climate Resilient Agriculture\u201d<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;with the objective to develop technologies and bio-based solutions for climate resilient circular Agri-economy. The focus is on leveraging precision genomics\/genome editing, synthetic biology, advanced engineering of free living\/symbiotic microbiota, in-field imaging, artificial intelligence and bio-based agri-solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">WHO CAN APPLY?<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Companies established under the Companies Act 2013 and Startups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) incorporated under the Limited Liability Partnership Act,2008.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic from various Institutions\/ Universities\/ Societies\/ Trusts\/ NGOs\/ Foundations\/ Voluntary Organizations, recognized as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">HOW TO APPLY?<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proposals for the Scheme is required to be submitted online only.
