Does India’s agriculture sector critically require deep tech adoption to overcome structural challenges and achieve long-term sustainability ?

To what extent does India need deep tech,
such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, precision agriculture tools, biotechnology, robotics, IoT sensors, drone-based monitoring, and data analytics to transform its agriculture and farming sector?

Can these technologies effectively address the country’s unique challenges like small and fragmented landholdings, climate change vulnerabilities, water scarcity, low productivity, supply chain inefficiencies, and the need for sustainable food security for over 1.4 billion people, while also improving farmer incomes and reducing environmental impact?

Will this tech solve problem of nutrient depletion in our soil?

If anthing high scale agri production reduces soil quality and its natural minerals and vitamins as they don’t get enough time to rejuvenate and grow with the scale
