Article Abstract

Food security remains a critical issue in Bihar, India, with a large share of the population unable to find access to decent food. Through this paper, the author is looking at technology as a force for enhancing food security in Bihar, with key emphasis on agri-technologies, digital platforms, and policy interventions. The research documents that technology could greatly enhance agri-productivity, enhance farmers\' access to markets, as well as incomes. Irrigation technology and high-yielding crop varieties are some of the agricultural technologies that can enhance yields, while digital platforms can give farmers timely information on weather, soil, and market prices. The paper also explores the influence of policy initiatives on food security in Bihar. Government programs and subsidies can lead to the uptake of agricultural technologies and digital platforms, enhancing food security outcomes. The research identifies the role that technology has in solving food security problems in Bihar and suggests more investment in agricultural research and development, digital infrastructure, and policy support. The findings of the study are grounded on a review of available literature and data analysis, and they offer significant insights into how technology can enhance food security in Bihar. The findings indicate that technology can play an important role in enhancing crop yields, minimizing post-harvest losses, and increasing market access for farmers in Bihar. The findings of the study have significant policy implications for policymakers, farmers, and other actors in food security programs in Bihar. Through the use of technology, Bihar can enhance food security, raise agricultural productivity, and improve farmers\' livelihoods. The recommendations of the study can guide policy choices and direct investments in agricultural research and development, digital infrastructure, and policy support to enhance food security in Bihar.
