India-GCC Cooperation for Strategic Food Security: Food Corridors, AgTech Integration, and Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Food security is increasingly emerging as a strategic priority in a world facing climate change, water scarcity, geopolitical uncertainties and disruptions to global supply chains. For the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, dependence on food imports and limited agricultural resources make reliable food systems essential for long-term resilience. India, with its diverse agricultural production base, growing AgriTech sector and expertise in sustainable farming, offers significant opportunities for deeper collaboration. Together, India and the GCC can move beyond conventional food trade towards stronger partnerships in agricultural investment, technology, research and climate-resilient food production.

How can India and the GCC work together to strengthen food security?

In this episode, Dr A. Velmurugan, Assistant Director General (Soil & Water Management), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi, explores opportunities for India–GCC cooperation through strategic food corridors, GCC investments, AgriTech integration, climate-resilient agriculture, precision irrigation and stronger agricultural value chains.

The session is moderated by Mr Gazi Hassan, Research Scholar, International Relations, Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR).

🎥 Watch the full episode to discover how India and the GCC can combine their strengths to build resilient food systems and advance sustainable agricultural development.
