India is regarded as a global agricultural powerhouse, and the industry is a primary source of livelihood for 55% of the population. It is the world's largest producer of milk, pulses, and spices, and it has the world's largest cattle herd (buffaloes), as well as the largest area under wheat, rice, and cotton.
The Indian agricultural industry has evolved, embracing cutting-edge technologies, data-driven precision, and high-tech, sustainable farming. Agriculture in India is becoming increasingly environmentally friendly and effective because of technological developments like IoT devices, crop management powered by AI, and vertical farming.
