Noting that the last time the conference was held here, India had just gained independence and it was a difficult time for the country's agriculture and food security.
“Today, India is a surplus country in terms of food production,” he said, adding that the country is the world's largest producer of milk, pulses and spices.
The country has also become the second largest producer of cereals, fruits, vegetables, cotton, sugar and tea.
“There was a time when India's food security was a global concern. Today, India is striving to provide solutions for global food and nutrition security,” he said at the conference, which was attended by around 1,000 delegates from 70 countries.
The triennial conference, organized by the International Association of Agricultural Economists, runs from August 2 to 7.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Transformation towards sustainable agri-food systems”.
The Prime Minister also said that India has provided 1,900 new climate-resilient crop varieties in the last 10 years.
India is promoting natural farming without chemicals, he added.
He said the country was moving towards achieving the target of 20 percent ethanol in gasoline.
The conference will highlight India's proactive approach to global agricultural challenges and showcase the country's advancements in agricultural research and policy.
The event will provide a platform for young researchers and leading professionals to present their work and network with peers from around the world.
Its aim is to strengthen partnerships between research institutes and universities, influence policymaking at national and global levels, and showcase India's agricultural progress, including advances in digital agriculture and sustainable agri-food systems.
