Digital Agriculture in India
A major reason for slow adoption of digital farming in India is that smallholder farmers are , basically , segregated which makes data collection quite difficult . The sector ’ s use of digital solutions has also been badly impacted by low penetration of mechanization tools and frequent natural disasters , such as drought , floods and excessive monsoon rain . Therefore , to implement digital agriculture on a typical Indian small farm , a customized method is needed . This can later be scaled up and made available to many Indian farms .
Future Outlook
Digital technology interventions in Indian agriculture have the potential to revolutionize the way farmers work and improve food production . By leveraging the technology , farmers can make more informed decisions , optimize resource allocation and increase productivity . It is an exciting development that holds great promise for the future of the country ’ s agriculture system .
Indian agtech businesses can play a crucial role in supplying farmers with these cutting-edge technologies since the Indian agriculture and allied sector is on the verge of adopting contemporary technology , such as AI / ML , IoT and drones for unmanned aerial surveys . There are currently few competitors in the sector , but serving the nation ’ s millions of farmers presents a significant opportunity for private and foreign businesses to increase their presence in the nation . The successes of digital agriculture in India will , however , be determined by several important aspects , including government policies that are supportive , low-cost technology , simple operations and access , as well as simple system maintenance .
To accomplish such goals as doubling farmer incomes and sustainable growth , it is in the national interests to adopt a holistic ecosystem approach in resolving the issues the country ’ s agriculture industry is facing . Digital agriculture , to be widely adopted , would therefore need a strategy involving many stakeholders , with the government enabling its spread and absorption into the ecosystem .
