Largely on the massive landmass of Africa, sustainable development has evolved into an indispensable unit of the global development system. Therefore, the two main factors on which many African countries should focus are the environment and economy.
Sanjeev Mansotra, an entrepreneur and philanthropist has risen to the challenge to right these wrongs through projects that seek to solve the social and economic challenges without putting the environment at risk.
Apprehending Agriculture for the Need of Development
Transforming agriculture is central to development as well as food security in Africa, the cradle of mankind. However African agriculture has characteristic weaknesses, for example, resource depletion, climate change, and expansion of farming techniques. Preventions have been on how the smallholder farmer can embrace sustainable and favorable techniques of farming.

This approach has the advantage of promoting sustainability, and sustainable growth in Agriculture.
Developing Sustainable Farming:
Mansotra actively encourages sustainable farming in consultation with farmers and other farming industry specialists. Such organic practices may include; intercropping, biological control, and water conservation methods such as water drops. They enhance the status of the land, increase productivity, and reduce the effects of agriculture on the environment.
Using Green Technologies to Revolutionize Mining
The company’s long-term vision is to transform mining through green technologies as Sanjeev Mansotra does. As a nobleman, his goals are to build up local food production to cut down reliance on imported food on the local population. He makes it easier for farmers to obtain good seeds, fertilizers, and modern farming implements. These measures assist small farmers in producing more food, which would keep communities’ food markets sustained. This also enhances their capacity to deal with external shocks such as disruptions in global value-created networks.
Tackling Food Services:
Mansotra’s programs will need to enhance food production within its locality to enhance food security and minimize engagement of imported food. Especially in the agriculture sector, he makes it possible for smallholder farmers to enjoy the fruits of modern farming implements, fertilizers, and quality seeds. These efforts assist farmers in ways that help them feed areas locally by being able to produce a lot more food. It also assists the communities to manage better the external forces including supply chain disruptions.

Mansotra’s programs are centered on the provision of food security as supplemented by local foods that should replace imported foods. He assists Farming decentralization by purchasing modern farming equipment, Fertilizers, and Improved seeds to enable these smallholder farmers to produce more. Food security is achieved by producing more foods and enhancing the local populace’s collective capability to deal with outside factors by keeping supply chains local. They also contribute to developing and strengthening the local economy through promoting sustainable agriculture as well as encouraging local producers.
Reducing the Effect on the Environment
Mansotra’s programs will support increased commercial food production and enhance food sovereignty with the least reliance on imported food. He assists in accessing appropriate farming equipment, seeds, and fertilizers to assist smallholder farmers increase production. More supply enables local population feeding and enhances their capacity to minimize endemic vulnerability factors such as disrupted supplies. These programs also attempt to reduce the effects of agriculture on the environment in the process of feeding the nation.
Including Sustainability in Business Plans
Mansotra’s programs centralize how to increase the local production of food to minimize the importation of food. He makes modern farming equipment, fertilizers, and high-quality seeds more available to the smallholders to cause them to produce more. This enhanced food production guarantees food supply for the local populace and boosts the resilience of the community’s food systems, to external interferences including the existing COVID-19 disruption of the supply chain. All of these are done in fulfilling business development tactics that support sustainable development for the local people and especially the agricultural industry.
