* Fertile land left uncultivated has real costs*
Our new study from India, Nepal, and Bangladesh shows that land fallowing raises the risk of food insecurity. Reducing fallow land is a food security issue, not just an agronomic one.

More Crops ≠ Better Diets
South Asia grows many crops—but diets still lack diversity.
Our study across 906 districts shows that crop diversity often fails to deliver nutritional benefits.

Drone view of the new Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway with the Vande Bharat train passing underneath. A powerful visual symbol of how global-standard infrastructure is transforming India…👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Lord Karan Bilimoria @Lord_Bilimoria]

"India has a vision to become, within 25 years, the 2nd largest economy in the world with a GDP of $32 trillion. The Indian Express has left the station. It is now the fastest train in the world—the fastest-growing major economy. The UK must be its closest friend and partner."
