Technology is revolutionizing every industry. Why should agriculture be an exception? Despite India being an agrarian economy, the agriculture sector is still complacent about embracing technology. Indian farmers are under immense pressure to increase crop yield per acre to cater to constantly growing demand. On the other hand, most farmers still adhere to traditional farming practices, leaving themselves at the mercy of nature. Technology can play a pivotal role in bringing a paradigm shift to this scenario.
