At the end of the WW II, the world population was 1.3 Bn people and India's population at the time of its independence in 1947 was 340 Mn. Whilst, the world population has grown at an unprecedented pace to 7 Bn, India's population has reached a staggering 1.4 Bn. This burgeoning population and its insatiable demand for sustenance, rampant cultivation of forest land, extreme urbanisation combined with hydrocarbon based energy use has led to food and water insecurities that are the root cause of all global conflicts.

Compounded by the fact that not all of the food that is grown is available to the people where it is grown, leading to inequity in access and availability of the food. In addition, lack of requisite information and access to available best practices, digital divide exacerbated by technology coupled with poor storage management and archaic supply chain have lead to large scale devastation of arable land, poor yields, gargantuan wasteage and impoverishment of farmers.
