The Unclosed Loop
India's residue-to-protein loop leaks at six points. This is where it stands in 2026 — what's already moved since the 2025 baseline, who's building each fix, and what the next five years to 2031 could close. Drag the timeline to travel from 2025 to 2031.

The six leak points — tap for the fix
How to read it:Leaking — the circuit is broken here and feedstock or value spills out.
Being built — a government scheme is closing the gap.
Closed — the flow completes and value moves on. The gold arc at the top is where income & nutrients return to the farm.
On the timeline:2025 is the baseline, 2026 is today, and 2031 is the five-year horizon. Every gap opens a panel with what's moved since 2025, who in the private sector is building it, and what's expected next.
