Any food can palliate hunger, even starvation -rations do. But a complete, nutritious meal -operates in an entirely complex matrix—from the farm to the plate. That chapatti you had for lunch, was it made of wheat that had the right amount of nutrients it should? How do you know your glass of milk was fresh, not contaminated/adulterated? Does the farmer have technology to know the grains -growing in his field will meet nutritional standards? These questions beguile Indian farming and consumers alike. Some startups are trying to answer them. One such company is the Mohali-based AgNext.
