guys, i am currently unemployed. I thought about what life would be like if I become a farmer. important note:- i will never take loans. I have been reading since my childhood that "the farmer committed suicide because he was unable to repay the loan amount due to losses in farming" There are some queries. 1) what is the minimum investment amount to become a farmer? 2) what are the advantages & disadvantages if i become a farmer? 3) how can i protect my farm from floods? 4) please suggest a crop that is very easy for cultivation and profitable?

No advantage, Sometimes you won’t even get back your investment.

1. Investment depends on the crop which you are going to grow.
2. Disadvantages are no surety of income if you are doing traditional farming. Labour shortage even if you pay them the amount they get while working in cities.

If you have so much land, then take loans on that land and do farming too, and enjoy your life.
Your childrens would suffer. That’s what many farmers are doing today.
They’re also not wrong, they can’t earn enough by farming then loan & enjoy is the only option left.

Even I gave a thought about it, but uncertainty of rains/weather made me drop the idea.
The thing with farming is that there is nothing for sure and risks are very high,
even with schemes(crop insurance schemes like RaithuBharosa) you will get only some percent in case of crop damage; and you have to bear the loss!!

Now a days Farmers can’t handle traditional farming(Due to labour cost, pesticides, tractor rents, uncertain climate and crop prices) hence we can’t suggest organic farming(need more cost and labour) to a newbie.

How much land you have ?
The main issue is selling not farming.
Where you are located ?
How far from City?
What you are planning to produce ?
Take loan from banks don’t worry about interests.banks can provide you loan on very low interest.

Since you don’t have land. You should start farming mushroom but first check with your locality. Mushroom requires very less space and gives good profit.
To learn about this you Can join your nearest krishi training centre.

I would suggest to get some course for organic farming, read books, take knowledge from videos available. You can opt for terrace farming, polyhouse farming, if you are non vegetarian, can opt for organic eggs/chicken, aqua farming. Bee wax and honey is also a option. There are many options but first knowledge is important to enter into any field. You cannot afford to fail and learn.

China is mastered in indoor vertical farming technologies. Contact some Chinese companies like Sanan Sino-Science and bring their technologies to India.
They are weather proof and flood proof. Since they are smart farms, there is very less manual labor required.
The initial investment will be high, but I think it’s worth trying.

Farming is a good way of living. But like every other business, you need to find the sweet spot. Try microgreens, if you are in cities. You can sell to fine dining restaurants and supermarkets.

Many are already doing it, we have some plants.

But lack of land don’t allow people to grow at home, almost nobody knows about vertical thing, maybe Chinese or japanese can help in that.
