The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) and the European Union (EU) are jointly working on an integrated bio-treated waste water project -- Water4Crops-India - to improve agricultural production and farmers' livelihood in India and the EU.
“Under the initiative, EU and India will share technologies and expertise for recycling of industrial and domestic waste water for agricultural use to improve the livelihood of the rural poor particularly those in the country’s dryland areas,” Antonio Lopez, director of CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique), EU consortium, said addressing media here.
