Abstract
Aim: The manuscript discussed on current and future challenges of Indian agriculture and recent innovations of science and technologies to achieve increased productivity, profitability and sustainability for Indian agriculture.
Background: Agriculture is the most important sector of Indian economy, but after involvement of more than half of the workforce in this sector, the contribution towards national GDP is still declining, due to the prevalence of the challenges like lower productivity, depleting resources, biotic and abiotic stresses, uncertainty in climate, higher yield gaps, and low farmers income.
Data Sources: Data sets and policy papers are from Government organizations and research articles from referred journals were used.
Conclusion: With the use and adaptation of revolutionary innovations, Indian agriculture can reform and overcome the limitation of low resource use efficiency, biotic and abiotic stresses, and post-harvest losses.
Keywords: Indian agriculture, science and technology, innovations
