vue - Exploring Indian Agriculture: Soil Health

"Out of the 140 million farms in India, only 10% have ever done soil health testing. This is like saying only 10% of our population has ever gone to a doctor." Understanding the composition of their soil helps farmers plant, fertilize, and irrigate with greater efficiency--something that can make all the difference for the millions of small-acreage landholders in India. The Tata Center Agriculture Team is studying soil health as a key issue in India's farming ecosystem, and developing solutions that will make soil testing accessible to many of these farmers for the first time.
