Global agriculture has witnessed a complete metamorphosis in recent decades with the intrusion of digital technologies and increasing open trade. Agriculture remains the second-largest source of employment worldwide after the services sector. The global value-added generated by agriculture, forestry, and fishing grew by 68 percent in real terms between 2000 and 2020, reaching USD 4.7 trillion in 2020. In the backdrop of the world population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, food supplies need to increase by 60 percent.
This call for increased dependence on technology-dependent agriculture as the chances of increasing land area appears to be negligible. The world will see advanced farming systems with a renewed need for Agri services, improved planting material, state-of-the-art machinery, agro-processing equipment, good crop care and soil health products, better infrastructure, value chain models, Agri, and food businesses. As India's institutions are providing global expertise and cooperation, it has become the gateway to almost two dozen Asian countries and the whole African continent.
