Traditional Approach

1. In Traditional farming, a typical farmer while deciding the crop for the season, usually follow the trend thats being going on from decades without looking out in market if there is better opportunity with some other crop. While buying seeds and inputs they prefer to buy from the same physical stores and use same seed variety which provides a specific yield that they have known for years. From Sowing to harvesting stage the same sowing approaches are followed which leads to unoptimised seed distribution in farms, improper use of water resources and same goes on with usage of pesticides and chemicals resulting in crop damages or unhealthy harvest. At the time of harvest due to lack of weather information there is crop losses in cases of high rainfall or draught and to avoid that many times inefficient harvesting takes place resulting low level of yield. Even the post harvest processes are governed by Mandi’s and a specific group of middle men and suffers from traditional ways of trade, logistics and payments.
