Country India
Abstract India's agricultural sector is facing challenges like low productivity, lack of credit, and inadequate infrastructure, prompting the government to implement policies like subsidies and loan waivers.The agriculture sector faces numerous challenges, necessitating urgent attention. One promising strategy is utilizing behavioral interventions based on the nudge theory. Several countries have successfully implemented nudge interventions to solve agricultural problems, and it is time for India to adopt this approach. The primary objective of this paper is to analyse the use of nudge theory in the agriculture sector in India. The study will provide an overview of the challenges faced by the sector and the existing policies and programs to address them. The paper explores the concept of nudge theory by review the literature on nudge interventions in agriculture and present case studies of successful interventions from other countries. In conclusion, the adoption of nudge interventions in the agriculture sector has the potential to address the pressing issues faced by the sector and improve the lives of millions of farmers in India. This paper will serve as a catalyst for policymakers and stakeholders to embrace this approach and usher in a new era of agricultural development in India.
