Technology for India's Agriculture Vision 2047: What Experts Are Saying
By ATTPL Agritech Editorial Team · · 2 min read
Policy voices at AgroSpectrum Technovate 2026 linked technology, mechanisation and AI to India's farm future. Here is what it means for farmers.
The conversation
AgroSpectrum India reported that NITI Aayog member Ramesh Chand said technology will power India's agricultural vision for 2047. The Technovate conference was reported as held on 12 and 13 March 2026 in Navi Mumbai, with themes including AI, digital agriculture and mechanisation.
What it means in the field
- Data-driven advisory will become part of everyday farming.
- Mechanisation and custom hiring will reduce labour pressure.
- Market linkages and digital payments will improve price discovery.
- Skills and trust will decide adoption, not only technology.
A realistic view
Technology helps when it is affordable, local-language and supported. Farmers need training and after-sales support, and technology providers should earn trust over seasons.
Barriers to adoption and how to lower them
Farmers adopt technology when it is affordable, understandable, locally supported and proven to raise income. Language, training and trust are as important as hardware or software. Providers should demonstrate results on farmers' fields, offer after-sales support and avoid overpromising.
Pilot new technology on a small area first and measure the result.
Data, privacy and fairness
As digital agriculture grows, farmers' data becomes valuable. They should know who collects it, why and how it will be used. Clear consent, secure storage and fair sharing of benefits will determine whether technology empowers farmers or only intermediaries.
The role of institutions
Research institutions, agricultural universities, KVKs, FPOs, banks and startups all have a role. Collaboration helps translate research into field practice, and public data and open platforms can reduce duplication and cost.
