Digital transformation in Indian agriculture offers a transformative opportunity to boost productivity, maximize resource utilization, and enhance market accessibility. Using modern technology like blockchain, drones, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and precision farming can improve efficiency. Through data-driven decision-making, real-time crop health monitoring, and resource optimization, digital tools facilitate improved farm management. Additionally, e-commerce and mobile platforms have given farmers immediate access to marketplaces, financial services, and professional guidance. Additionally, they can check internet reviews before purchasing, increasing profitability and sustainability. Despite these encouraging advantages, several obstacles stand in the way of the widespread use of digital technologies, including low levels of digital literacy, poor infrastructure, expensive technology, and concerns about data privacy, especially for small and marginal farmers. Overcoming these obstacles requires targeted strategies, including improving digital literacy, expanding rural infrastructure, offering financial support, and developing region-specific solutions. This paper examines the potential benefits, barriers, and opportunities of digital transformation in Indian agriculture, emphasizing the role of digital tools in addressing the sector's complex issues. India can unlock the full potential of digital agriculture, leading to increased productivity, sustainability, and improved livelihoods for farmers while contributing to long-term economic growth and food security.
