TIGR2ESS: Transforming India's Green Revolution by Research and Empowerment for Sustainable food SuppliesThe record grain outputs of India's Green Revolution in the 1970's established India as one of the world's largest agricultural producers, transforming the country from a starving nation to a food exporter, creating jobs and boosting the economy. However, behind this extraordinary achievement were varying levels of success across different Indian regions, and overuse of water, fertilisers, pesticides and other chemicals on an unsustainable scale. In terms of agricultural productivity, the technologies of the Green Revolution plateaued in the 1980s, yet the continued adherence to a strategy of intensive agriculture has led to increasing pressure on water and nutrient resources.The proposed project (TIGR2ESS) will develop and strengthen alliances across a carefully selected network of UK and Indian experts in crop science, hydrology, social science and policy, allowing two-way knowledge exchange partnership to define the requirements for a second Green Revolution in India, set the necessary policy agenda, and define a collaborative research programme focused on sustainable crop production and sustainable resource use (with a focus on water use from farmer to consumer in a changing monsoon climate).Working together will enable us to contextualise the challenge in terms of the widespread changes taking place in Indian society today, including: urbanisation, drawing many away from rural work, particularly men; and technological developments transforming the employment opportunities within food sector away from primary production. Choices about modern agricultural practices in India must reflect societal needs, and our understanding of these needs will help us orientate the subsequent research programme and its translation towards an outcome that is both technically and socially acceptable - and possible - for today's India.The target for this programme is India, but relevance is in other developing countries, which in moving beyond the first Green Revolution of the 1960's, face unprecedented change due to societal and environmental pressures. The TIGR2ESS consortium will combine two innovative approaches to tackle these issues in India:Firstly, a series of Flagship Research projects will address fundamental research issues, and integrate their delivery and impact via a translational programme of outreach, education and entrepreneurial stimuli; secondly, a series of capacity building academic exchanges will support leading researchers from India and UK to frame collaborative research questions, and allow extensive training of more junior researchers to deliver these advances. At the heart of the TIGR2ESS proposal, the Flagship Projects will tackle fundamental research questions, with the first providing an overarching analysis to define the requirements for a 'second' Green Revolution in India. Secondly, a programme of research capacity exchanges will allow over 40 senior and young researchers to work in India or the UK, providing training and skills enhancement opportunities in research areas across the programme. Additional field-based community surveys and workshops will promote rural community engagement and empowerment. Overall, the programme will address the associated demographic and equality issues facing farmers in the context of increasing urbanisation. Two core Flagship Projects will use fundamental scientific approaches to address key issues in Crop Sciences (broadening the production potential of dietary staples and providing lessons for orphan crops) and Sustainable Resources (with a focus on water sources and sustainable use, from farmer to consumer, in a changing monsoon climate). The final Flagship project will translate these findings in order to promote equal opportunities, stimulate entrepreneurship and develop educational programmes for nutrition across rural communities.

TIGR2ESS：20世纪70年代印度绿色革命的创纪录的粮食产量使印度成为世界上最大的农业生产国之一，使该国从一个饥饿的国家转变为粮食出口国，创造了就业机会并促进了经济发展。然而，在这一非凡成就的背后，是印度不同地区不同程度的成功，以及过度使用水，化肥，杀虫剂和其他化学品的不可持续的规模。就农业生产力而言，绿色革命的技术在1980年代达到了稳定水平，但继续坚持集约农业战略导致对水和养分资源的压力越来越大。（TIGR 2 ESS）将在精心挑选的英国和印度作物科学、水文学、社会科学和政策专家网络中发展和加强联盟，允许建立双向知识交流伙伴关系，以确定印度第二次绿色革命的要求，制定必要的政策议程，并确定一项合作研究计划，重点是可持续作物生产和可持续资源利用（重点是在不断变化的季风气候中从农民到消费者的用水）共同努力将使我们能够根据当今印度社会发生的广泛变化来应对挑战，包括：城市化，吸引许多人离开农村工作，特别是男性;技术发展改变了食品部门的就业机会，使其远离初级生产。印度现代农业实践的选择必须反映社会需求，我们对这些需求的理解将帮助我们确定后续研究计划的方向，并将其转化为当今印度在技术和社会上都可接受的结果。本计划的目标是印度，但相关性也适用于其他发展中国家。在20世纪60年代的第一次绿色革命之后，由于社会和环境的压力，这些国家面临着前所未有的变化。TIGR 2 ESS联盟将联合收割机结合两种创新方法来解决印度的这些问题：首先，一系列旗舰研究项目将解决基础研究问题，并通过推广，教育和创业刺激的转化计划整合其交付和影响;其次，一系列能力建设学术交流将支持来自印度和英国的领先研究人员制定合作研究问题，并允许对更多初级研究人员进行广泛培训，以实现这些进步。在TIGR 2 ESS提案的核心，旗舰项目将解决基础研究问题，第一个提供总体分析，以确定印度“第二次”绿色革命的要求。第二，研究能力交流计划将允许40多名高级和年轻研究人员在印度或英国工作，为整个计划的研究领域提供培训和技能提高机会。更多的实地社区调查和讲习班将促进农村社区的参与和赋权。总体而言，该方案将解决农民在日益城市化的背景下面临的相关人口和平等问题。两个核心旗舰项目将使用基本的科学方法来解决作物科学（扩大斯台普斯的生产潜力，并为孤儿作物提供经验教训）和可持续资源（重点是水资源和可持续利用，从农民到消费者，在不断变化的季风气候中）的关键问题。最后的旗舰项目将转化这些研究结果，以促进机会平等，激励创业精神，并在农村社区制定营养教育方案。
