Agriculture accounts for the maximum occupation for our country but very little can be said about existing innovations for most vulnerable and marginal farmers. It is so easy for them to get stuck in different debt cycles due to unpredictable climate, drudgery-filled manual labour, unreliable market linkages and extremely limited financial support systems—to diversify or build a risk appetite to become more entrepreneurial.
How might we ensure that labourers have protective gear on farm to protect from pesticide poisoning and to aid in climbing trees?
How might we innovate solutions that might eliminate the risks associated with chilli processing and create a safe environment for the workers?
How might we support tomato farmers to reduce their costs and gain control over the tomato value chain?
How might we support the millet producers to make the cleaning process easier, as well as go back to making it a staple for them and not just for the privileged?
How might we help jackfruit producers to create a higher demand for jackfruit in their markets, as well as help them with available technology to make the production process easier?
How might we spread knowledge about tamarind processing machines to small producers, and help them to acquire these machines so that they have control over the value chain?
How might we ensure the best possible way to minimize wastage of agri produce whilst increasing revenue for farmers?
How can mechanization be done in harvesting?
How might we ensure the safety of farmers in each of the operations?
