Abstract: India has reached the first position among the most populous countries in the world. Known as the "country of youth," India remains rooted in agrarian culture. Providing healthy food twice a day to a growing population is naturally linked to agriculture. In this era of global climate change, agriculture business especially arable farming, faces various challenges. Hybrid crop varieties, chemical fertilizers, pesticides are being used for production. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are increasingly used for production to boost yields and productivity. Unfortunately, these practices degrade the soil, adversely affecting soil fertility. This degradation presents a significant challenge for the country to meet its growing demand for food grains.
