Agriculture plays a crucial role especially in the case of developing countries from a social and economic standpoint. It provides job, income and a source of livelihood for the rural population. However, the agricultural sector faces a number of challenges due to the lack of technology and infrastructure. The Amrita projects in this area analyse the environmental impact of current living standards and farming methods and then determine the optimal utilization of technology. Such projects will help to improve existing standards and techniques and create long-term self-reliance.
