Impact on Agriculture — Environmental Laws

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
42nd Amendment Act	1976	Inserted Article 48-A into the Directive Principles of State Policy, mandating the State to protect and improve the environment and safeguard forests and wildlife. It also moved 'Forests' and 'Protection of wild animals and birds' from the State List to the Concurrent List.	This amendment provided a constitutional basis for environmental protection, indirectly strengthening the legal framework for safeguarding agricultural ecosystems from climate change impacts. By making environmental protection a state duty, it encourages policies that support sustainable agriculture and resource management, crucial for climate resilience.
