Some of the modern farming methods are :
1. Precision Farming: Using GPS and drones to monitor and manage crops more accurately.
2. Hydroponics: Growing plants in water instead of soil.
3. Aquaponics: Combining fish farming with plant growing, where fish waste feeds the plants.
4. Vertical Farming: Growing crops in stacked layers indoors.
5. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms): Crops designed to resist pests and diseases and improve nutrition.
6. Automation and Robotics: Using machines and robots for planting, weeding, and harvesting.
7. Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Using a mix of methods to control pests without relying heavily on chemicals.
8. Sustainable Practices: Crop rotation, cover cropping, and no-till farming to keep soil healthy.
9. Smart Irrigation: Using sensors and automated systems to water crops efficiently.
10. Renewable Energy: Using solar and wind power to run farm operations.

India’s economy is highly dependent in agriculture contributing about 14% of the total GDP of the state. Thus most of the people in India are heavily dependent upon agriculture. The monsoon pattern is to thank for as the favorable moisture laden winds help in the abundance of agricultural activity in the state.
Starting from the month of June the south east monsoon winds of the Arabian sea branch hits the cost of Kerela due to the formation of low pressure region of the Indian subcontinent and the shifting of the ITCZ towards the tropic of cancer. Heavy showers are received in the Western ghat region after which the winds travels over the semi arid Indian peninsula moving northwards and being obstructed by the Great Himalayas. This causes showers over the Indo Gangatic plains where maximum of the wheat production is done in the states of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and most of the northern belts.
The Bay of Bengal branch of the south east monsoon winds brings heavy showers to the eastern and north eastern states of India where rice production id very prevalent. Mawsynram in the north eastern state of Meghalaya is the rainiest place in the world with an annual rainfall of 467.4 in annually.
Other arid and the semi arid regions like the north western and the Deccan region grow cash crops like cotton, rubber, sugarcane etc. The amount of rainfall received during the monsoon in the particular state determines the climatic zone of the state and the dominant crop of the state.
The uneven distribution of rainfall in India makes it a diverse agricultural boul.
