Abstract
As India faces food security challenges and climate change, a new wave of young farmers is transforming agriculture with innovation and technology. The increase in the youth population from 30.6% in 1971 to 34.8% in 2011 presents both challenges and opportunities for the sector. Today's young farmers are tech-savvy entrepreneurs using drones, AI, and blockchain to revolutionize traditional farming. Empowering these innovators requires strategies such as agripreneurship incubators, tech-integrated training, and sustainable farming incentives. Despite hurdles like limited capital and climate unpredictability, solutions like crowdfunding and climate-resilient crops are emerging. India's youth are redefining agriculture, ensuring a sustainable and prosperous future.
