ICAR-IARI, AM/NS India sign research pact on tailings
CATCH ME UP
The MoU calls for advanced scientific research on agricultural uses of iron ore tailings.
Preliminary studies suggest the tailings contain minerals that could potentially benefit crop production and soil health.
The partners will assess safety before any broader use is considered.
Planned work includes multi-season evaluations of crop responses, environmental impacts, and nutrient availability.
Why it mattersThe pact could turn steel tailings into a usable farm input, affecting waste management, soil practices, and agricultural sustainability.
More context
The effort is presented as a way to improve resource efficiency and waste valorization across mining and farming sectors.
