Technology for Agriculture Vision 2047: A Farmer-First View
Every conference on agriculture technology ends with the same test: will the farmer in the field feel any difference? Technology is only as good as its adoption by people who grow our food, and trust is earned over seasons, not in a demonstration.
What was said
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 should mean in the field
- Data-driven advisory becomes part of everyday farming.
- Mechanisation and custom hiring reduce labour pressure.
- Market linkages and digital payments improve price discovery.
- Skills and trust, not only technology, decide adoption.
A realistic view
Technology helps when it is affordable, available in the local language and supported after the sale. Farmers need training, a helpline and a fair price. Technology providers should earn trust over many seasons, and they should be honest about what a tool cannot do.
This is the thinking behind our agritech work from Jaipur: a farmer operating system, a super app, a marketplace and research initiatives that put the farmer first.
The Chairman's takeaway
A Developed Bharat by 2047 needs prosperous farmers. Build technology that is simple, local and supported, and measure success by the farmer's income and confidence.
Frequently asked questions
Will AI replace farm advisers?
No. AI can help advisers reach more farmers with timely information, but local knowledge and human trust remain essential.
