Brainware University has established the University–Farmer Resource Sharing and Sustainable Agriculture Support Policy. The policy provides a structured framework for sharing the University's academic expertise, scientific facilities and technological resources with local farmers and food producers to promote sustainable agriculture and support UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger). The policy covers individual and small farmers, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), agricultural cooperatives, local food producers, self-help groups, rural entrepreneurs and other eligible community stakeholders. It facilitates need-based access to university laboratories, scientific instruments, soil and water testing support, plant resources, digital technologies, IoT-based monitoring systems, GIS and remote-sensing resources, training facilities and faculty expertise, subject to availability, approval and safety requirements. Key areas of support include sustainable soil management, efficient water utilisation, smart and precision agriculture, climate-resilient farming and sustainable food production. The University promotes technology demonstrations, farmer training, technical consultations, field-based projects and collaborative research to encourage resource-efficient farming, reduce food loss and waste, improve agricultural practices and strengthen food security.Overall, the policy strengthens university–community collaboration, promotes agricultural innovation and supports sustainable food systems, contributing to SDG 2 – Zero Hunger.
