While agricultural and supply chain inefficiencies persist, keeping farmers small and marginal, the country is catching up with global trends in both consumption (organic, healthy, and convenient) and concerns for sustainability. There is an immediate need for disruption in the industry led by technology, as it has the ability to solve scale difficulties, minimize knowledge asymmetry, and enable for supply chain disintermediation to make farming more profitable, inclusive, and egalitarian. Despite being one of the world's top five agricultural economies, India's agriculture is at a critical crossroads. This sector has a number of issues, including low yields in major crops relative to global averages, limited market access, low produce pricing, and limited water availability which can be resolved by technology. The study through review of published articles, government policies and expert pieces tries to examine the stand of India on adoption of digital agriculture and various government initiatives in this direction. The study identifies various obstacles to digital agriculture and shows the need to go for agriculture 4.0 and barriers to it prevailing in the country. The future of digital agriculture and key game changing technologies are also discussed in the study.
