Vibha Srivastava, Vrishi Raj Kesarwani, Shruti Saumya · 2024
Agriculture forms the backbone of India's economy, with farmers serving as the primary providers of sustenance for the population. However, the traditional supply chain in the agricultural sector, characterized by the involvement of numerous intermediaries, often leaves the cultivators marginalized, while middlemen reap significant profits. Recognizing the transformative potential of science in addressing this issue, this review paper proposes the integration of direct-to-consumer agricultural platforms into the Indian Agronomy landscape. In the contemporary era dominated by technological advancements, the widespread use of smartphones and digital platforms has revolutionized various aspects of daily life. Building upon this trend, the aim of this paper is to investigate the practicality and impact of leveraging equipment to facilitate direct transactions between tillers and consumers. The paper underscores the transformative potential of innovation in empowering farmers and reshaping the agricultural landscape in India. By fostering direct connections between producers and consumers, these platforms have the capacity to not only improve grower's incomes but also enhance food security, promote sustainable agriculture practices, and strengthen rural economies. Through continued innovation and collaboration, the realization of a more inclusive and equitable agricultural system is within reach. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are playing pivotal roles across various technical domains including education, banking, healthcare, e-commerce, and numerous others. So, this paper presents an online platform known as the Farming Portal-which will help agrarians obtain information about various yields, crop diseases, its prices, and government schemes for the cultivators and sell their crops to the consumers directly without the involvement of the middlemen using ICTs.
