What the work involves
Day to day
Producing farmer-facing information - advisory content on crops, inputs, weather and prices, and reporting on agricultural policy and markets, delivered increasingly through regional-language video and messaging rather than print.
Who this suits
Fit
Agriculture graduates who communicate well, particularly in an Indian language. Farmers are now reachable directly through their phones, agri-input companies and platforms fund advisory content, and technically accurate material in regional languages is genuinely scarce.
The honest reality
Read this one
Much of the funding comes from input companies, which means advisory content and product promotion blur together, and keeping that boundary honest is a real professional problem rather than a hypothetical one. Bad advice reaches people whose livelihood depends on it. The independent journalism side is poorly paid with few employers. Regional language ability largely determines whether the work exists for you.
