Agriculture has been engrained in our history for over 10 thousand years now. India is the second largest producer of wheat, rice, and sugarcane. However, 27% of the world’s underfed and undernourished people live in India (UN fact). Urbanization, population increase, and income growth is driving the demand for food, while lack of available information, stress on natural resources and climate change is increasingly constraining supply. Episode 4 of the Quest for Zero promises to outline the need for innovation in the agricultural sector to hold a balance between the demand and supply, in order to transform India’s agricultural sector.
