In the current research system, Indian-Council-of-Agriculture-Research (ICAR) at the National-level mainly help, promote & collaborate research & Education in India. Advancement in technology is the basic to coming future of farming because farmer struggle to feed world with partial natural-resource. The agri-tech solution helps to provide backbone to all over growth of Sustainable-Agriculturing & food-production. The investment is focused at agri-tech startup & disruptive market-newcomer. New technology, resources input & economic-incentive that leads to increase in agricultural production. The future technology development for food-production & handling system should be non-polluting, should reduce environmental & health-hazards & not inspire new-regulatory restriction.
