Abstract
Farming in India is tough work—and it's only getting tougher. Water shortages, a rapidly changing climate, disorganized supply chains, and difficulty accessing credit make every growing season a calculated gamble. But farmers like Harish B. are finding that new AI-powered tools can take some of the unpredictability out of the endeavor. (Editor's note: Instead of a surname, Indian given names are often combined with initials that can represent the name of the person's father or village.)
