BusinessLine PodcastsAn MRI scan for foodAmong the many problems in Indian agriculture is the absence of quality standards in the farm-to-fork food chain.
The lack of standards means farmers have no incentive to innovative and produce qualitatively better food. It also takes away from the consumer the option of buying better.
Even globally, determining the quality of farm produce is a largely subjective exercise, often involving conjecture. Usually, farm commodities are put though physical parameter tests using touch-and-feel, visual appeal, smell and taste. As a result, the ability of farmers who grow higher quality, or pesticide and chemical-free produce, to...2022-04-2729 min
