Regenerative agriculture on the fringes of cities can bolster food security while helping the country achieve its climate goals.

With the onset of winter, a blanket of smog has once again settled over northern India, caused in part by deleterious agricultural practices.

It is an annual civic tragedy, a reflection of how current farming practices contribute to public health and climate challenges. But there is quiet cause for hope.
