Farmers adapting to technology in the last couple of years as never before: Jinesh Shah
Digitisation among farmers has increased manifold in the last 2-3 years with prices of data dropping and this has resulted in growers willing to go beyond traditional means of agriculture, according to Jinesh Shah, Managing Partner of India’s leading agri-tech venture capital firm Omnivore.
This has the “potential to disrupt a few major challenges such as labour, employment and climate change”, Shah told
BusinessLine in an interview.
In the past year, due to the Covid-19 crisis, the amount of digitisation witnessed has not been seen in the last 4-5 years, he said.
