India’s agriculture sector contributes only 14-15 percent towards the country’s GDP however it consumes 40-45 percent of total employment. Almost half of the agricultural land depends on rainfall. There is a great opportunity to leverage data science technologies to analyze the agriculture landscape, grain demand, explore past data, gain insights and define formal models that may be used by farmers to make decisions about crop selection, soil management and planning logistics.
