TEEB Agrifood - India

This brief outlines a project applying an economic framework to transform food systems in India by integrating environmental and social considerations into decision making. It situates the initiative within global concerns about hunger, inequality, and ecological degradation, and describes its implementation across selected states through collaboration between government, research, and private sector actors. The scope includes organic farming and agroforestry, supported by value chain analysis, scenario modelling, and assessment of natural, social, human, and produced capital. Activities focus on policy support, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement, while findings contribute to aligning agricultural practices with sustainability objectives and informing national and state-level policy processes.
