Additionally, to ensure food security, Brazil can help India by transferring more technology, so that the country can produce more and meet their requirements. In turn, India’s UPL, a Mumbai-based crop nutrition products company, will help Brazil convert degraded pastures into productive land for agricultural uses to increase production and ensure food security, Favaro added. Brazil boasts an extensive landmass of 851 million hectares, with 584 million hectares (66%) covered by forests and 159 million hectares (18.6%) allocated to pastures. Among these pasture lands, 40 million hectares have been identified as having substantial potential for agricultural development, including the production of grains and oilseeds. At the same time, we are committed to saving our forests and India can help us a lot in that area.
