Global Trends in Agriculture: Dr. P.S. Gahlaut on Empowering GenZ Farmers

In a world dominated by technological evolution, Dr. PS Gahlaut sheds light on the global movement of youth entering agriculture. This trend, often termed the “Young Farmer Movement,” highlights GenZ’s increasing interest in farming as a sustainable career. Dr. Gahlaut explores how these young minds are introducing innovative solutions and reshaping traditional agricultural practices.

While global GenZ farmers are embracing self-sufficiency, the movement’s impact in India is distinct. Dr. PS Gahlaut emphasizes the challenges of land access, low income perceptions, and lack of awareness. Yet, he believes India’s youth population is a critical resource for a potential agricultural revolution.

Dr. Gahlaut advocates for integrating AgriTech and government schemes to attract young talent to farming. With technology like AI and drones, and startups like Aibono and Kheyti, he envisions a thriving future for young Indian farmers, driven by sustainability and innovation.
