VayuGrid Leverages the Power of Aggregation for Farm Prosperity - India Knowledge@Wharton

VayuGrid Leverages the Power of Aggregation for Farm Prosperity - India Knowledge@Wharton: "A typical farmer in India would grapple with some or all of the following problems in varying degrees:

Small land holdings of between one and five acres, which do not allow for economies of scale.
Poor irrigation coverage, high dependence on rainfall and vulnerability to periodic droughts.
Dependence on water-intensive food crops that have easier access to markets than non-food crops.
Low or no mechanization in farm practices from sowing to harvesting, resulting in low productivity."
