Welcome to 3rd All India Progressive Farmers Convention

THE Background

Agriculture is the largest employer in India with more than half the population engaged in the vocation directly or indirectly. With an annual output of $ 500+ billion, agriculture is a pre-dominant sector of India's economy. About 60% of India's population live in rural areas and a major share of them find a source of livelihood in agriculture. Agriculture is thus a driving force of rural livelihood and development.

However, agriculture in India is fast evolving. Confronted with challenges such as depleting natural resources, climate change, eroding soil health, new plant health threats and increasing cost of cultivation, new models are constantly emerging powered by policies and substantially enhanced engagement of the industry, banks and government institutions. Educated youngsters are engaging in farm ventures and agribusinesses, progressive farmers in many parts of the country are innovating conventional practices to become successful farm entrepreneurs by leveraging upon the strengths of the markets, industry and institutions and new start-ups are emerging empowering farmers and agriculture.

Agriculture Today Group envisions to provide exposure to farmers by sharing successful agribusiness models and sensitize them with policies, schemes, technologies and markets. With this aspiration, ATG is organizing the 3rd All India Progressive Farmers Convention on 23 December 2024 in New Delhi. The forum aims to establish a national level platform for progressive farmers to share their success stories and connect with the industry and key stake-holders for collaboration and growth opportunities.
