Union Minister Nitin Gadkari announced that India is entering a new phase of technology-driven organic agriculture, focusing on sustainability, innovation, and increased farmer income.

The initiative aims to integrate advanced technologies such as precision farming, digital monitoring, and bio-inputs to enhance productivity while maintaining ecological balance. Gadkari emphasised the importance of reducing chemical dependency and promoting environmentally friendly farming practices.

The government is encouraging the use of organic fertilisers, improved irrigation techniques, and data-driven decision-making to optimise crop yields. The approach is expected to boost soil health, improve food quality, and expand export opportunities for organic produce.

Startups and agri-tech companies are expected to play a key role in this transition by providing innovative solutions for farm management, supply chains, and market access. The move aligns with India’s broader vision of sustainable development and climate resilience.

By combining traditional knowledge with modern technology, India aims to transform its agricultural sector into a more sustainable and globally competitive system.
