Adav remembered the devastating famines that had plagued India throughout history, and even in his own timeline, the struggle for food security had been a constant challenge. An independent India, strong in industry and military, would be nothing if its people starved. Recognizing India's vulnerability to famine, Adav embarked on a parallel, equally ambitious project: laying the groundwork for a future "Green Revolution" decades ahead of its historical occurrence.
He directed his newly expanded chemical plants to mass-produce advanced synthetic fertilizers. These weren't the basic nitrates of the era, but formulations optimized by the Codex's [Agricultural Optimization] module for various Indian soil types and crop requirements. Simultaneously, he funded and established a network of agricultural research stations across different agro-climatic zones of the subcontinent.
These stations became hubs for intense scientific endeavor. Agronomists, geneticists, and botanists, many of them Indian scholars brought back from European universities, were tasked with a singular goal: to develop high-yield crop varieties – particularly wheat and rice – that were resistant to local diseases, tolerant to varying water conditions, and responsive to the new fertilizers. This involved meticulous cross-breeding and selection, accelerating processes that would have taken generations through traditional methods.
The Codex was instrumental in optimizing not only the fertilizer formulations but also the distribution networks. Adav designed efficient supply chains to ensure fertilizers reached even remote farming communities. He invested in farmer education programs, teaching them modern agricultural techniques and the proper use of new inputs. This wasn't about short-term fixes; it was about fundamentally transforming Indian agriculture, ensuring food security as the bedrock of national stability and prosperity.
