Blending local knowledge and traditional methods (like working with a large variety of species) with modern technology such as precision farming and digitally enabled asset and knowledge-sharing systems could enhance yield while markedly decreasing requirements for resources such as water, synthetic fertilisers and pesticides.

Once this is realised and seized upon zealously by the Modi Government, sky is the limit to growth for India.
