Through the centuries, winning wars has rarely depended upon the sheer numbers, because if that were the case, the Rajputs would have won every one of them. Wars have been won by sides not with better numbers, valour or courage, but by those with better technology, tactics and strategy. Agriculture is no different. Countries who have been able to leverage technology in agriculture have been able to not only solve their consumption issues, but have actually been able to contribute significantly to their national economies. I have been lucky to be able to see the agricultural sector of many countries and Indian states. Today I will deal with technological developments in crop husbandry and horticulture and allied issues.
