Bramha Kumar told a conference in Bulawayo that India feeds 1.5 billion people with advanced seed systems and IoT sensors that help farmers track conditions and automate equipment. He mentioned India runs over five million biogas plants that turn leftover crop material into renewable energy and fertilizer, and the country leads global production in milk, lentils, spices, and a bunch of other staples. Kumar said India offers 250-plus scholarships every year for Zimbabwe officials to train in agricultural methods through a program called Itec. The event brought together officials from Zimbabwe's agriculture ministry and researchers from ICRISAT to discuss ways to promote traditional grains as healthy food options. [/QUOTE]
