With high food inflation the focus has again shifted to agriculture. The question is how to make Indian agriculture profitable. I propose a Smart Agriculture Management System to deal with this.
There are multiple issues with agriculture including so much BS that is propagated and still ingrained in our psyche. The biggest I see is mono-cropping which started after the green revolution (biggest mistake according to well known agri experts who have written angry letters at the time). The other I see so often is the lost knowledge of the value chain crops that exist and can be grown besides the trees and grain crops such as medicinal grasses. There's also the last mile issue. Processing and selling direct is such a huge thing that can be added either by a single farmer or by a group of farmers in a region.
All the above will only help once they actually get the basics right, such as not destroying their top soil which they so frequently do.
