BRICS nations launch Land Restoration Partnership to stop desertification and soil fertility loss
Friday, 18 April 2025 BRICS nations, including India, have launched the "BRICS Land Restoration Partnership" to combat land degradation and promote sustainable agriculture within its expanded 11-member group. The initiative aims to create a fairer, more inclusive global agri-food system, emphasizing the welfare of small farmers and addressing climate change through collaborative programs and shared best practices. The group reiterated commitment to food security, climate adaptation, and empowerment of women and youth.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South.
