    Indian agriculture relies heavily on monsoon rains and is characterized by different farming seasons and practices. The majority of Indians engage in subsistence farming using traditional methods on small plots of land. Commercial farming on larger scales uses modern techniques for higher crop yields. Key reforms like the Green Revolution increased production through irrigation and inputs while institutional reforms consolidated land holdings and provided credit and insurance for farmers.
