Recognising the need of a standardised farmer database, the government launched Digital Agriculture Mission in 2024, with strong Centre-State collaboration. The Agri Stack is emerging as a quiet but powerful transformative pillar of this mission. It comprises of three registries — farm , farmer and crop sown. Agri Stack signals a new chapter in India’s agricultural journey.
Farm registry comprises database of geo-referenced agriculture plots. In the second layer, each land owning farmer is being provided with a unique farmer ID with essential information related to all plots owned along with the share in case of co-ownership. The data is dynamically linked to the Record of Rights so that any change in ownership due to inheritance, sale etc gets updated in the farmer registry. The third layer comprises of details of crop sown on each plot, obtained through a Digital/Technologically driven crop survey conducted in each crop season after the sowing is completed.
Agri Stack is a federated database enabling rule-based, automated service delivery across schemes and geographies with strict adherence to provisions of Privacy and Data Protection related laws.
Inclusive ecosystem
Recognising the diversity in land administration across the country, the architecture has an inbuilt flexibility to tailor it to the local needs.
