Hyderabad, Jun 16 (PTI) Observing that the agriculture sector is facing several challenges globally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday urged the G20 Agriculture Ministers Meeting to deliberate on how to undertake collective action for achieving global food security.

In a video message to the meeting currently underway in Hyderabad, Modi spoke about the challenges being faced by the agriculture sector and said the supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic have been worsened by the impact of geopolitical tensions.

Climate change is causing extreme weather events more and more frequently while these challenges are felt most by the Global South, he said.
