Maitri 2.0 is the second edition of the India-Brazil Cross-Incubation Programme in Agritech, launched by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). The initiative is designed to promote collaboration between Indian and Brazilian innovators to strengthen the agri-food ecosystem. It emphasises sustainable agriculture, the use of digital technologies, and improved value chains to make food systems more resilient. Brazil’s strong agricultural base and India’s innovation potential make this partnership strategically important, as it enables knowledge sharing, joint research, and the adoption of best practices to address global food security challenges.
