The subcontinent’s primary economy is going through a phase of transformation, under the leadership of a government that has set, among its priorities, the growth of productivity and incomes for farmers. The country, which has the potential not only to guarantee the food safety of the population but also to become a strong exporter of agricultural commodities, must also look at the variables linked to meteorological factors and climate change. A strong investment is needed in technological innovations, that are able to optimize production factors and prevent risks for crops

The atmospheric pollution and the consequent climate changes affect the environmental and social balances worldwide. The commitments of the governments are insufficient to achieve the goals set by the Paris Agreement.
