Agri- tech, also known as agrotechnology, applies technology to agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture to increase output, efficiency, and profitability. Agri-tech refers to farm products, services, or applications that improve various input/output processes. Agricultural technology has evolved due to advances in agricultural science, agronomy, and agricultural engineering.

India’s agricultural revolution, or agriculture 4.0, is being fueled by the rapid use of deep-tech solutions across the country. Entrepreneurs, investors, businesses, governments, and, most importantly, farmers have all taken notice of the rapidly growing agritech industry. The agri-tech industry is a fast-growing sector that holds a lot of promise for improving Indian agriculture and, as a result, farmer incomes.
