R&D / Collaborations

Open science for an integrated bio-refinery economy.

Agropolis is built as a living research platform. We co-develop agronomy, digestion, livestock, bio-fertilizer, and One Health outcomes with universities, public labs, start-ups, and global peers — and publish the learnings back to farmers.

Call for Collaboration by Dhakshhin Agropolis Ltd — A National Initiative to Make India a Global Leader in 4F Crops: Food, Feed, Fuel, Fertility
Call for Collaboration — Compete with self. Collaborate with others. A national initiative inviting researchers, ICAR institutes, universities, CBG developers, FPOs, seed and silage companies, soil scientists, climate researchers, and policymakers to advance 4F Agriculture together.

Active research pillars

Feedstock agronomy

Napier, maize, sorghum, and millet trials — yield, biomass quality, water use, and silage stability across agro-climatic zones.

Anaerobic digestion science

Co-digestion ratios, retention times, inoculum health, and methane yield optimisation for mixed crop + dung + agri-residue feedstocks.

Bio-fertilizers & soil health

Digestate post-processing, microbial consortia, and long-term soil carbon and fertility outcomes versus conventional NPK.

Livestock nutrition & welfare

Silage rations, dairy productivity, methane reduction in cattle, and IoT-based welfare monitoring.

Circular economy modelling

Energy, nutrient, water, and carbon balances across the full Agropolis loop — village to refinery to soil.

One Health outcomes

Soil → plant → animal → human health pathways. Residue-free food, AMR reduction, rural livelihoods, and public health metrics.
