In this episode, Dhruv Sawhney, founder of Zomato Hyperpure and Rize.farm, delves into the critical intersection of agriculture, food security, climate change, and renewable energy. Drawing from his personal journey into the farming sector, Dhruv explores the massive opportunities for innovation within agritech-one of the most vital yet under-explored industries in India.
Key takeaways from the conversation include:
1. Agriculture and Innovation: Dhruv discusses the immense potential in India's agricultural sector, with over 130 million farming households and 500 million people reliant on farming. He emphasizes the need for technology-driven solutions to address supply chain inefficiencies, financial inclusion, farm mechanization, and access to information.
2. Climate and Food Security: Agriculture, particularly rice cultivation, is directly linked to global challenges like climate change, food security, and resource management. Dhruv highlights the pressing need for sustainable practices as rice farming alone contributes 11% of global methane emissions and consumes vast freshwater resources.
3. Opportunities for Entrepreneurs: For entrepreneurs looking to make a meaningful impact, Dhruv encourages going upstream, understanding the farming ecosystem, and tackling the complex issues at the nexus of food, energy, and climate.
4. Discover how agritech can drive real change and build sustainable solutions for the future.
