                            🔆 CSR in Agriculture: An Ethical Perspective
📍 Why It Matters
🌾 Agriculture supports 47% of India’s population and is vital for livelihoods and food security. Corporates have an ethical duty to strengthen this sector through meaningful CSR contributions.
📍 Ethical Considerations
✅ Equity: CSR in agriculture ensures resources reach marginalized rural communities.
✅ Sustainability: Supporting water conservation, energy-efficient irrigation, and livelihood projects aligns with ethical environmental practices.
✅ Accountability: Transparent reporting of agriculture-related CSR initiatives builds trust and avoids tokenism.
📍 Challenges
📋 Current CSR reporting mechanisms lack focus on agriculture, limiting visibility and targeted impact.
📍 Way Forward
🔑 Treat CSR as a tool for social good and ensure clear reporting to align with national goals for rural development and sustainability.
