Abstract

The investments to sustainable agriculture and food systems contributes directly to reducing hunger, poverty and malnutrition o f the targeted population and positive contribution towards environmental welfare. The issues affecting Indian agriculture spread across the entire agricultural value chain right from soil and water conservation to market connectivity and social concerns associated. This paper maps three major focus areas under agriculture where in the CSR investments can be channelized. This include addressing the Environmental constraints, Improving Access to Markets and Social engineering and various sub-elements for financing being suggested under these suggested focus areas. The paper seeks to explore opportunities for promoting responsible investments in agriculture and food systems through CSR investments. This paper takes a case study approach and analyses in the context of the various development work done by ICRISAT and using the impacts as a guiding factor for proposed investment suggestions.
