India, one of the largest producers of food in the world, is working on ambitious targets to transform the state of agriculture in order to feed its growing population – poised to cross 1.5 billion by 2030 – while keeping the well-being of farmers at the forefront, especially smallholder and women farmers. The Indian agritech sector is expected to lead this transformation through path-breaking innovations to make agriculture more inclusive, sustainable and efficient. Technological integration will also create more jobs, particularly for young people.
