Digital Platforms for Farmers in India are changing the way farmers access information, advisory services, markets, finance, insurance and government schemes. A mobile phone is now becoming an important tool for modern farming.

Earlier, many farmers depended mainly on local traders, input dealers or informal sources for information. Today, digital platforms can provide weather updates, crop advisory, mandi prices, soil health information, scheme details and buyer connections.
