Published on 21 Mar 2025

• The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has begun the process of formulating a National Agriculture Code (NAC) for India.

• NAC is a system introduced to standardise and categorise agricultural activities, crops, and practices across India.

• The code will provide detailed guidance on irrigation, soil health, crop storage, and newer fields like organic and smart farming.

• The NAC intends to support both policymakers and farmers, enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability across India’s diverse regions​.
