Observing that the agriculture sector is facing several challenges globally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today urged the G20 Agriculture Ministers Meeting to deliberate on how to undertake collective action for achieving global food security.

In a video message to the meeting currently underway in Hyderabad, PM Modi spoke about the challenges being faced by the agriculture sector and said the supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic have been worsened by the impact of geopolitical tensions.

Climate change is causing extreme weather events more and more frequently while these challenges are felt most by the Global South, he said.

"I urge you to deliberate on how to undertake collective action to achieve global food security. We must find ways to build sustainable and inclusive food systems focussed on marginal farmers. We must find ways to strengthen global fertiliser supply chains," the Prime Minister said.
