Abstract	Corporate farming refers to large-scale agricultural operations owned or managed by corporate entities. In India, where the agricultural sector is predominantly composed of small and marginal farmers, the introduction of corporate farming has sparked intense debate regarding its economic, social, and environmental implications. Proponents argue that it can enhance productivity, introduce advanced technology, and strengthen supply chains. However, critics highlight concerns such as land acquisition, farmer displacement, and market monopolization. This paper examines the potential benefits and challenges of corporate farming in India, assessing its impact on agricultural sustainability, rural livelihoods, and food security. By analyzing global case studies and existing policy frameworks, this study provides a comprehensive evaluation of corporate farming’s viability in the Indian context.
