<h1>Agreements Promote Indigenous Seeds and Organic Farming Using Blockchain and Cooperative Networks</h1> An agricultural institute entered into two Memoranda of Understanding with a national cooperative and a seed cooperative to promote sustainable farming practices. The first agreement focuses on preserving and promoting indigenous seeds through community seed banks, research, training, and blockchain traceability to support natural farming. The second agreement aims to enhance the aggregation, certification, marketing, and logistics of organic produce from farmers trained by the institute, leveraging cooperative networks and organic certification systems. These partnerships seek to integrate traditional agricultural knowledge with modern infrastructure to build scalable, traceable, and sustainable value chains for organic and indigenous farming products across India. The agreements were endorsed by a government official from the Ministry of Cooperation, emphasizing cooperative strength and grassroots innovation in advancing sustainable agriculture.
