“…The sector has attracted educated youth since it is intellectually satisfying and economically rewarding. In the last decade, the agriculture sector has experienced a technological shift, such as e-agriculture, IoT implementation, and intelligent sensor-based farming, which led to the development of the agricultural industry, but such action has also caused various issues (Akhilesh and Sooda 2020, Nedumaran 2020, Singh et al 2020. At the same time, though technology has introduced a positive impact, it is still less inclusive and quite far from the reach of the rural farming population of India (Akhilesh and Sooda 2020).…”

The globalization of agriculture has opened new opportunities, challenges and stiffer competition in India. This paper explores and evaluates various macro and micro factors influencing the marketing channel choices made by the vegetable farmers in Odisha. Responses were collected from 323 vegetable farmers and 110 commission agents, and 192 retailers across five districts of Odisha. Data were analyzed using SPSS to confirm reliability, validity and data reduction. AMOS was used to design the structural equation model. Access to market knowledge has a positive sign for both organized and unorganized market choices, which is consistent with the hypothesis. Hence, the value suggests that increasing market knowledge can increase market participation. The improvement in practices and expertise in grading also shows an increase in the involvement of both organized and unorganized markets. Given these marketing challenges, this study suggests improving emerging farmers' participation in the export markets.

“…Nearly 60% of the Indian population relies upon agriculture and its associated sectors for their livelihood. Enormous improvement in food grain production was achieved through the Green Revolution with the adoption of modern approaches such as high-yielding varieties, agrochemicals and intensified farming (Akhilesh and Kavitha, 2020). Although high-yielding varieties are being promoted, the bulk of the tropical land fails to provide suitable growth conditions for these high-yielding crops; and consequently, low yield is obtained even after the application of necessary agrochemicals.…”

A majority of agricultural activities are conducted under fragile lands or set-up. The growth and development of crops are negatively affected due to several biotic and abiotic stresses. In the current situation, research efforts have been diverted toward the short-term approaches that can improve crop performance under changing environments. Seed treatment or priming technology is in a transition phase of its popularity among resource-poor farmers. Suitable policy intervention can boost low-cost techniques to implement them on a larger scale in developing countries and to harness the maximum benefits of sustainable food production systems. Primed seeds have high vigor and germination rate that help in seedling growth and successful crop stand establishment under stress conditions. This review is attempted to assess different seed priming techniques in terms of resource use efficiency, crop productivity, cost–benefit balance, and environmental impacts. Moreover, a comprehensive study of the mechanisms (physiological and biochemical) of seed priming is also elaborated. A detailed examination of the applications of priming technology under diverse agroecosystems can improve our understanding of the adaptive management of natural resources.
