Hey Redditors!

I’m (27 F) based in India, and I’m diving deeper into the world of farming and agriculture. Recently, I’ve developed a strong interest in sustainable farming practices, horticulture, and exploring crops like blueberries and raspberries.

I’d love to connect with people who are passionate about: • Farming (small-scale or commercial) • Organic or sustainable agriculture • Horticulture and exotic fruit cultivation • Sharing knowledge about soil health, irrigation, and crop management • Innovations in farming (hydroponics, vertical farming, etc.)

Whether you’re an experienced farmer, a hobbyist, or someone just starting out. I’m also eager to learn about any government schemes, grants, or technologies that could help farmers like me improve our practices.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi,

I’m a student working on a project about agroecological practices and how they connect with local communities. If you’re a farmer using sustainable methods like improving soil health, reducing chemicals, or just doing things a little differently, I’d love to hear about it!

I created a survey to gather some insights. Your experience and thoughts would be super helpful for my research.

Here’s the survey link : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYHOtL7B0mHf3zXCNSL0OC9CemmQmgLggi56dpjV7rIEhzIg/viewform?usp=dialog

Thanks so much for taking the time to fill it out! Feel free to ask me any questions if you're curious.

I live in Tiptur,Karnataka, India. when i calculate the expense and income from a crop. It seems negligible (not even my 3 months labour charge). We grow coconut (copra) & carrot here

Hi, as the title states. I'm 35, from the UK and looking to get into a new career such as Land-based Engineering/Agricultural Engineer and wanting to get some pre-knowledge before starting a course. Any good books related this field will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Here’s an update following my first post.

I’m currently experimenting with organic farming on my 1-acre farm, where I’ve planted Emmer (Khapli) wheat, chickpeas, jowar, and green peas. It’s been a month, and the crops are growing well. This is just the beginning!

My goal is to scale up to commercial farming and create value-added products from my produce. I’m considering options like Khapli wheat flour, multigrain mixes, or even ready-to-eat healthy products.

I’d love to hear your ideas and suggestions on where I should focus as it will take 3-4 month to harvest . What factors should I consider while developing and selling these products?

I’m fully committed to making this work, and your inputs would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I’m currently majoring in polisci with a minor in public administration, and I’m working toward a second minor in economics. I’ll likely have room for a third minor, but not a second major. I’m set on going to grad school, though I’m still figuring out my career path, most likely in the nonprofit sector or state government.

The state I live in now, and the state I plan to move to after I graduate both have very prominent agricultural industries. I know in these states, that in both the public and nonprofit sectors there are a lot of agriculture-based discussions and jobs available, such as nonprofit farms. I chose my minors because both public admin and econ would give me a wider view of how the country runs, and help me in my future career. I feel a minor in ag business would help me get further information on viewing the landscape of this country, and more specifically my current and future home.

In addition, I'm also quite fond of livestock, as I've grown up around them and my family has owned some. In the future, if I am able to, I would really love to own poultry and/or livestock and possibly sell small things such as eggs, locally.

So does anyone here have any experience with getting a minor in agriculture business? I would love to hear what you did with it and if you had a good experience! For context, I go to an agricultural school so my education will be in-depth.

Growing Spinach 💚

I'm in a debate with some friends arguing which plant (that is also grown for food) is the most useful to humans in which all parts of the plant are used for various things from food, to medicine, or fuel.

Is it corn or wheat? What about soybeans? Something else entirely?

My sister did her Agriculture bachelor’s In India. If she move to USA what are her options. How are the jobs related to agriculture here.

PS: I am not from agriculture background trying to get more information for her

Hey gang,

Ill be planting cover crop in the fall and spring of the next year to try and improve my soil. My plan is to use cow peas, clovers, radishes, vetch, sorghum. I haven't settled on any particular mixes as ive come to a small bump- actually planting the seed.

I want to broadcast all of my seed at once- can you recommend a mix of seeds for spring and one for fall that is diverse, invludes nitrogen fixers, and taproots and have similar seed sizes? Or is this a fool's errand i've set up for myself?

Pretty much same as what the title says.

Which Chemical is more effective Benzisothiazolinone or Kasugamycin? And have they both have any side effects on cucumber leafs?

I’m wondering where most of you folks read or watch or listen to news about farming. With so much happening in ag, and your farms increasingly complex to manage, where do you learn about your industry? Thanks in advance and good luck and stay safe in ‘25!
