Food security has become a more critical aspect looking at the swelling global population and natural resources dwindling. On the other hand, the natural calamities are adding up to the woes.

The country has brilliantly turned its desert into green to feed its population.

From drip irrigation to keeping grains market-fresh, to precision agriculture, squeezing every drop of water from the air, to hardier seeds for more and better crops, and

many others, Israel is leading the way for the world when it comes to smart agriculture. However, India is not far off. Being the second largest populated nation of the world, India is also speeding up its smart agriculture sector. Though the country has been following smart practices since ages to produce more food grain that not just the country consumes but exports to world over.
