Food Vs Fuel or Food and Fuel Biotechnology Tools and Smart Agriculture Can Resolve Food and Fuel Needs Sustainably • INM with Bio and Nano technology • IPM with Bio and Nano technology • Crop/agroindustry by-product management for fuel and fertilizer • Cellulosic ethanol (Millions of tons Cellulose) • Anaerobic methane as decentralized energy centres
INM: Role of Biotechnology • Need an estimated 4 to 5 million tons of bio-fertilizers to manage various nutrients in the soil. • Need AD processed organic manures. • Need balanced use of NPK in the ratio of 4:2:1. • Need to manage 500 MMT of organic crop residue
IPM: Role of Biotechnology & New BioChemicals • Biotechnology based new chemistry for resurgent pests • Designer microbes for organic pest management (immunize the crops) • Newer varieties with resistant properties • Molecular breeding for resistance
Soil Productivity Physical Properties Chemical Properties Biological Properties
Biotechnology: AIMS (Agriculturally Important Micro-organisms) Azospirillum Sp Pseudomonas (PSB) Aspergillus awamori Trichoderma viride

Criyagen Case Studies Sugarcane Food and Energy Crop • Sugar & Jaggery • Juice ethanol in times of over production • Ethanol from Bagasse Shri. Suragouda Patil from Sedabal produced 163 tons per acre sugarcane.
Paddy • Paddy • Staple food crop • Brickets • Bio-methane Shri. Chandrashekar K. V. from Attigeri village of Davanageri District of Karnataka harvested 65 bags of paddy per acre
Food & Fuel We are producing enough food, we are going to import 80% of our petrochemical needs in coming decades. With biotechnology interventions, We can produce more food grains which could be extended to energy, say sugarcane juice ethanol Cellulosic ethanol is answer to the impending problems of the fuel crisis
