India holds the record for the second-largest agricultural land in the world, with around 60% rural Indian households making their living from agriculture. The agricultural sector in India employs half of our population and we are greatly dependent on the farmers and agricultural labourers to provide us with a means of sustenance. Yet, this is one of the riskiest sectors to be employed in because it is dependent on uncontrollable factors like weather, market fluctuations and topographical conditions. Efforts are being made to give this sector and its workers a much-needed boost. And the biggest way of doing this is through advancements in agriculture technology. Modern techniques and methods will surely elevate agriculture to the next level and ease the burden on farmers. This therefore creates a huge scope for Agriculture Startups in the country. Transformation of Agriculture to Agribusiness is one of the important strategies where enterprising farmers practice profitable agriculture.
