M.S. Swaminathan calls for synergy between technology, public policy [1]

Synergy between technology and public policy is essential for enhanced productivity in agriculture and aquaculture to meet the food and nutritional needs of the growing population, said M.S. Swaminathan, chairman, M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation.

Inaugurating an aquatic health testing facility at the Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (CIBA) here on Thursday, he said that India was far below the production levels of China in agriculture and aquaculture. Transformational science could change the scenario but it needed a public policy.
